Running AIX 3.2.1, I cannot send mail to user@localhost, where
localhost is another machine on the network.  It is defined in both
/etc/hosts and in the CF (I think) line.  When sending mail using
'mail -v', sendmail sends mail to 'user@localhost.tcp', then
'user@localhost', and then says that 'localhost not defined.'

Please send responses to chuck@novusinc.novus.com, and I will summarize
results.
