Problem 1)
  On a SunSparc330 (4.2) running Sendmail.mx, all my addresses from the machine
  appear as user%sonne.cnns.unt.edu@vaxa.acs.unt.edu.  The vax is the host I
  check mx records on.  Why *must* it munge my address so?  sonne.cnns.unt.edu
  is registered, but this % address sometimes causes other smtp mailers not to
  recognize me.  Annoying.

Problem 2)
  On a Masscomp 5700 running Sendmail, the machine does not recognize it's
  fqdn.  For example, it recognizes user@nervous, but not
  user@nervous.cnns.unt.edu.  It *does* fully qualify mail going off the
  machine (so that when I mail from it, my address is
  cluther@nervous.cnns.unt.edu), but won't accept that address on return.  Also
  annoying.
