AMD.COM never told them to send our mail to SUN.COM. It may be that
most sendmails assume a .COM site is on the Internet and don't bother
to check for a uucp connection and that the configuration files need
to be changed. From what I hear, it appears that the details of this
change are still under development. I would have to say that the
release of smail was premature or incomplete.
