Hi,

Recently, after a fatal system crash I had to rebuild the
whole system on my Iris 4D/50GT (yep, some people still do 
have 'em.) The problem is that I am not able to send/receive
any mail since then. I tried to play around with the sendmail.cf
file but it didn't seem to work. Anytime I try to send a message
the system responds with the following error:

	setsender: can't even parse the postmaster

I found similar errors recorded in the SYSLOG file as anyone tried 
to reach the machine through email.

Can anyone help me with this... what do I need to do to fix this
problem... (I am not a CS major... and that's the "unfixable" part 
of the problem!  :-) )

Please email me directly if you have suggestions... 

Thanks.

Ahmad Safi.	(asafi@rdrc.rpi.edu)
