SCP with problems again

Many thanks for the replies to solve the 'no host' problem.
The fault was indeed the missing dollar sign in the rules.m4 file.
 
I am puzzled as to how I ended up with a 'very early' version of
UK-SENDMAIL, as I fetched it recently (weeks ago) from what appeared
to be the 'definitive' site according to a list I have. Where is the
latest 'definitely definitive' version?
 
Further problems:
1. Our sun and apollo now get beyond the original halt, and appear to
respond to the 'mail user@host' dialog fine. The problem is that the
mail does not seem to get sent. It stays in the queue, and leaves
sendmail processes hanging about. Using the -v option shows a dialog
between the machines going fine until the dot to end the mail is
sent. Then it just hangs.
 
2. I have managed to get SMTP mail into the SUN using the KA9Q
package on a PC, with the present configuration of sendmail.
I could not get mail to go in the reverse direction. This time
-v option showed the PC to be unable to recognise the commands.
(response to MAIL From:<addr> was 500 Command Unrecognised)
 
Further help would again be much appreciated.
