To all those who snagged my port of Sendmail 5.64, I just noticed something
weird... if I try to mail to foo@bar (with bar being bar.gsfc.nasa.gov in
/etc/host) the message bounces due to "unknown host" whereas if I address
it to foo@bar.gsfc.nasa.gov, then all is Okay.
The previous version of Sendmail (i.e., the version that came with 1.1) handled
foo@bar with no problem...
I'm looking into this and will let you know...

I have fixed the port of Sendmail 5.64 for A/UX to automatically append
the domain name to all single token address (i.e., if you try to mail
to foo@bar, then it will append your default domain name, as defined in
sendmail.cf, to bar). However, it still refuses to recognize "aliases"
located in /etc/hosts... obviously the problem lies somewhere in address
resolver routine. For some reason sendmail and resolver/nameserver are
not cooperating fully.
