The sendmail.cf on the Athena workstations has problems dealing with
UUCP addresses which start with domain names (i.e. cs.texas.edu!foo!bar).
The mail ends up getting sent to "cs.mit.edu", with an address of
"texas.edu!foo!bar".
Here is a diff for fixing it. It involves deleting one line from the
sendmail.cf.
