System name:		jubjub-bird
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 6.3B
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	/usr/lib/sendmail -v -t
	To: deeb
	This is a test.
	.

What's wrong:
	M-x rmail in emacs reports no POP server in Hesiod.
	No mail.

What should have happened:
	My test message should appear in the rmail buffer.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Emacs uses /usr/lib/sendmail for its own mail-sending
	interface. If sendmail doesn't work, it's impossible to use
	M-x mail without rewriting the relevant elisp code.
