I've recently decided to run sendmail as the primary mailer on my SCO Unix box, rather than MMDF. SCO it would seem provides little documentation or support for sendmail and would rather have you do it their way.. Well damn the torpedos and full speed ahead. I have run into a few problems though in using sendmail. If I address mail to a local user (ie: root), it works fine. If I use full domain address (ie: root@yqlhost.Cral.CA), it doesn't work, even though it is the same host. Also, I've noticed that I can send mail to other systems, but they can't send to me. A sample error message follows: From MAILER-DAEMON Sat Jan 2 22:15:39 1988 Received: by yqlhost.Cral.CA.
