sendmail blues

First of all, thank you for your speedy response. The answer that really worked

for us was from sho@oaktech.com (Steven Ho):

Few people pointed me to look at our DNS for the missing domain name. At the

moment, as we are only using e-mail via UUCP, DNS is not used. Damian Murphy

<dmur@bssssq.edu.au> suggested a different rewrite of the rule S14, which I

didn't try as the above worked for us. <covingto@NADN.Navy.MIL> suggested an

upgrade to sendmail-8.6.12, which among other enhancements offers better config

options and more security. Such upgrade is already planned at our site. There

were also the customary me-toos.

Thanks again for your help.
