Hi managers,

I am trying to track down a sendmail problem and got stuck. I am using
the original sendmail and sendmail.cf installed by Solaris 8 02/02. I
log in on the Solaris box and do

bash-2.03$ mail info@advanced-science.com
This is a test
.

This logs the following in /var/log/syslog:

May 30 17:10:59 merkur sendmail[1994]: [ID 801593 mail.info]

The mail bounces and gets back to me as follows:
