- Message-ID: <1992Nov5.125340.17707@ms.uky.edu>
- Summary: Is my sendmail broken?

- We are on our own ethernet/tcpip network, no domain names at all. For
- the sake of this article, let's say my AIX systems name is "rs6000". I
- setup an alias in /usr/lib/aliases that looks like this:
- mytest: zak!simon
- "zak" is my system at home, and uucp is setup to talk to it. I ran
- "newaliases" _and_ "refresh -s sendmail".
-
- When mail is sent to "mytest", sendmail processes it correctly, and it shows
- up in the uucp queue for "zak" (you can see it with a "uustat -a").
-
- Here's the rub: the To: header of the letter contains "To: mytest@rs6000".
- The letter _does_ get delivered, I just dislike the To: line -- I think it
- should say "To: zak!simon". Shouldn't it? At the very least it shouldn't
- have added the "@rs6000" since the destination host is not "rs6000".
-
- In short: Is this normal? Can I fix it? Someone please explain!
-
- ALSO:
- I just replaced the brain-dead mailer on our Xenix systems with Smail 3.127,
- and the same thing happened there. Now that I see our AIX system doing it,
- I'm really confused...

- Thanks,
