I am having problems with sendmail under Interactive's 386/ix 2.0.2. As well as receiving incoming mail it also appears to be attempting to SEND it. It also seems to think the mail is being sent by the recipient. Below are the results of mailing a test message from bfls@cain (a Sun workstation) to mike@boopsie (the misbehaving 386 box). The recipient gets the first two messages below and the sender gets the third. We are using sendmail 2.2 (dated 6-30-87). Is there a more recent version or are there patches to this version? I don't think this weird behaviour is due to an error in my sendmail.cf file as I use the same one on two Sun workstations on the same network without any problems. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
