|I'm running a slightly-modified UK-2.1 on a 4.0.3 Sun 3/280 using the 
|provided sendmail (@(#)SendMail version 1.9 of 88/02/08). Everything is
|fine and dandy except when somebody gives me an unknown domain, which
|causes a segmentation fault:
|
|sun% /usr/lib/sendmail -v nobody@nowhere < /dev/null
|nobody@nowhere... Domain Unknown
|Segmentation fault

This sounds like a bug in the original code sent out from Berkeley,
but Sun should really have fixed it! In the case I am thinking of,
*any* bounced mail causes a seg fault. The error is in savemail.c and
involves passing NULL to strcmp() - OK (but bad practise) on VAX, duff
on Sun.

|I vaguely remember somebody mentioning the "OP" stuff in a similar context,
|but that doesn't seem to make any difference, in or out. Other than getting
|a fixed sendmail, is there any way I can stop this happening?

Get a fixed Sendmail anyway. Here are the details:
