So I got a piece of mail to testers, and I noticed that it had some
suspicious headers.  With Tom's help I looked at the logs on the old
athena mailhub (which only gets mail from machines that don't look up
MX records).  There was a suspiciously large number of mail messages
coming from at least 4 beta suns.  I suspect that /usr/lib/sendmail is
the .nomx version and we want to make sendmail a symlink to
sendmail.mx as was the case in previous releases.  For some reason I
recall thinking that Sun had finally solved this problem in Solaris
2.4, but I guess I was confused.
