[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Problem about Mail Address

nsb@THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM (Nathaniel Borenstein) (11/03/90)

Looks to me like you're running your domain system in the same screwy
way they run it at Bellcore -- i.e. your NFS domains, as returned by
getdomainname(), have nothing to do with your mail domain.  I suggest
that you read about the "ThisDomain" variable in the AndrewSetup file,
and set it to something reasonable.

Yes, this is my problem; the error message is about "set hold in Mailrc or
.mailrc". After I added "unset hold" in my .mailrc, it can work now. Thanks!
 
Now I met another problem about address when send mail through messages or cui.
When I typed the address like this, user@host, it works with no problem.
However, when I send to local user or reply to the sender, the mail would be
returned back with error. A such kind of returned mail is enclosed.
What kind of problem of this?
