I'm just installing Berkley sendmail 5.61 on our Sequent Symmetries, using
UK-Sendmail 2.1 to build the configuration.

With mail that is sent by hhsend/mhhcp, I get a strange effect on the
transfer ownership. If I do

          /usr/lib/sendmail  address

then hhq shows the transfer belonging to daemon. But if I explicitly select
the _same_ configuration file, with

          /usr/lib/sendmail -C/usr/lib/sendmail.cf address

hhq shows the transfer as owned by the issuing user. The RFC822 headers
in both messages are identical and correct.

Our old sendmail (Berkely sendmail 4.something) didn't do this!).

Am I doing something stupid? (I don't have a sendmail.fc file anywhere around
that's being used in case 1, and I can't take the option of using sendmail
5.61IDA)

    Thanks,

          Alan
