- The "plus" is used the by the Andrew Message Delivery System (AMDS) to signify
- name validation. Apparently you compiled Andrew with "RUN_AMDS_ENV" defined in your
- site.h configuration file. This means that messages was built with stubs that replace
- /bin/mail and /usr/lib/sendmail with calls to AMDS.
-
- If you want to run AMS using your system's regular sendmail system, then you'll have
- to recompile Andrew with "RUN_AMDS_ENV" undefined. This will build a messages program that
- uses sendmail and /bin/mail, rather than the AMDS, for local mail delivery.
