What were you trying to do?
send mail to an address with an unqualified domain name
What's wrong:
It was received even though the address was not re-written
I tried this both from my machine and a decstation on the
test cluster that was configured as a public workstation.
mail to foo@ai was re-written foo@ai.MIT.EDU and delivered
mail to bar@gnu.ai was not rewribut was also received
(I have the messages if you want to look at them)
I am not sure if this is a problem with the mail hubs or the
client sendmail.cf, but there is an inconsistancy somewhere.
What should have happened:
either it should have been bounced or the header should have
been rewritten (I think the latter)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
sendmail(8) ?
