Dear Netters,

We've a Sparc stations that runs SunOS Release 4.1.1.  It seems that
it does not resolve MX records correctly.  For example, it will try
to connect directly to tufts.edu rather than looking for its mail ex-
changer "pearl.tufts.edu" and connecting to it.  Since tufts.edu does
not have a internet address, the delivery attempt will fail.

Any advice on how to fix this will be very much appreciated.  Please
detail your suggestions/instructions as much as you can.  We are only a
bunch of students voluntarily maintaining the machine for the time be-
ing (we are in the process of looking for a system administrator).

Thanks!
