The problem was solved with the help of a few helpful usenet folks: the
answer was simply to add a "h" in the flags entry (F=) of my "uux mailer"
in my sendmail.cf file to tell sendmail that this mailer did not want 
case-folded host names.

Sigh.  't would have been much simpler if ix/386 came with documentation
for sendmail.cf!  Oh well.

Thanks to everyone who sent suggestions!
