The problem lies with UUNET not peeling off the "tygra.ddmi.com" before it sends the message to tygra. I tried to get the UUNET postmaster to fix it but he doesn't seem to be able to do it. Problem is that the brain-dead mailer that comes with SCO Xenix 2.3.2 (what mailer??) has no way of specifying: "If you see tygra.ddmi.com!user or tygra!user, then that just means the local user "user""
