I am encountering a very strange problem with sendmail. I am in a node called
nuscc.nus.sg., and I sent to a user called ccecst in a node called 
solomon.technet.sg. using Pine/elm. When I use sendmail -v option from 
command line the mail get through. The following shows the return 
script that I got after I sent the message:

Actually, you are in the node nuscc.nus.sg and your intended correspondent
is in the node solomon.technet.sg  .  There is no trailing '.' on the
end of domain names.  Some software permits an extra '.', but RFC1123
explicitely disallows the trailing '.' on email addresses.

  Your trailing '.' confused the mail software on solomon.
