Sending mail to user "jr" on the Masscomp from "fred" (Sun4-280) with
this invocation:
mail systech\!jr@sun2
results in the following header for the mail received by "jr" on the Masscomp:
From nuucp Thu Jan 5 16:02:56 1989
>From fred!johnr Thu Jan 5 16:04:54 1989 remote from sun2

Subject: Test header
QUESTION:
---------
the "Received:" line that contains "sun2.systech.COM.COM" seems incorrect.
Should'nt it be: sun2.systech.COM
the "From:" line that contains sun2!fred!johnr also seems incorrect.
Should'nt it be: sun2!johnr@fred.systech.COM
It seems that I am doing some fundamentally wrong things with sendmail,
yet I followed the Sun documentation to the letter.
Can anybody provide me with some help?? It would be greatly appreciated.
