We are trying to get our Sequent, an S27, to talk with the rest of
the world via sendmail.  We have managed to get it to understand
incoming mail but cannot get it to send out.  Here is what I get when I
try to send mail out:

laa> mail -v mark@caa
tSubject: est

mark@caa... Connecting to caa.tcp...
mark@caa... Host unknown: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Saving message in /usr/u/markvo/dead.letter
/usr/u/markvo/dead.letter... Sent
laa>

The name of the sending machine is laa.mrs.umn.edu and the receiving
machine's full name is caa.mrs.umn.edu.  Does anyone have any idea what
the system may need for us to be able to do this?  On a related topic,
how does one turn on name resolving?  We seem to gotten a "gutted"
version of DYNIX.  Thanks.
