Greetings.  I am trying to get our internet mailer all set up.
I have an Ultrix 3.0 machine on which I have installed BIND4.8
and Sendmail5.61/IDA 1.2.8 with the libresolv.a created by BIND4.8.
It all dropped in pretty well, surprisingly.

The problem I have is that all mail coming in from the Internet
gets the line "Apparently-To: <userid@kodak.com>" inserted in 
the header as well as the normal "To: userid@kodak.com" later 
on in the header.  

The mail gets delivered all fine, but I just wonder why this
redundant information gets tacked on.  According to the sendmail
source (in collect.c), it is added when the to, cc, and bcc 
fields are null, so I'd like to correct this problem.  Has anyone 
else seen this strange behavior?

If you have any clues you'd like to share with me, please email
to mccrave@kodak.com or ...!rochester!kodak!mccrave.  Thanks.
