Sending mail to user "jr" on the Masscomp from "fred" (Sun4-280) with
this invocation:
mail systech\!jr@sun2
results in the following header for the mail received by "jr" on the Masscomp:
From nuucp Thu Jan 5 16:02:56 1989
>From fred!johnr Thu Jan 5 16:04:54 1989 remote from sun2
Received: from COM (fred) by sun2.systech.COM.COM (3.2/SMI-3.2)
id AA03560; Thu, 5 Jan 89 16:04:54 PST
Received: by COM (4.0/SMI-4.0)
id AA02671; Thu, 5 Jan 89 16:05:09 PST
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 89 16:05:09 PST
From: sun2!fred!johnr (John Reed)
Message-Id: <8901060005.AA02671@COM>
To: sun2!systech!jr
Subject: Test header
QUESTION:
---------
the "Received:" line that contains "sun2.systech.COM.COM" seems incorrect.
Should'nt it be: sun2.systech.COM
the "From:" line that contains sun2!fred!johnr also seems incorrect.
Should'nt it be: sun2!johnr@fred.systech.COM
It seems that I am doing some fundamentally wrong things with sendmail,
yet I followed the Sun documentation to the letter.
Can anybody provide me with some help?? It would be greatly appreciated.
