Hi fellow Sunspotters,

I am having problems with the so-called "sendmail.mx" program,
ie, the one that works with the name server daemon.  We are
running Sun OS 3.2 and I got the name server patch kit from Sun.
We run the MX mailer only on our server/mailhost .

The symptoms we get are as follows:
1.  Internal mail from the server works fine.
2.  Internal mail to the server disappears down a black hole.
3.  External mail is returned to the sender with one or more
    characters in each header line eaten as follows:

|	hi bob
|	just testing

The mail was sent to: noonan@cs.wm.edu .
The message comes through fine, just the header is eaten.  This same
mailer configuration file works fine with the old "sendmail".  If you
could reply directly to me, I will summarize the answers back to the net.
Thanks.
