I have just installed elm2.3 (patch 0). Yes I know there are 9 patches
and I am about to go and get them.

We run an SGI 4D/240s under Irix 3.3.1 (if it is relevant).

I have two problems:

  1/ replies to local mail get the address scrambled.
          mail from fred, reply send to fred@ccu1.auk.aukuni.ac.nz 
          where ccu1 is the local machine and the domain is aukuni.ac.nz

          oops I have just remembered that our hostname is ccu1.auckuni.ac.nz
          and what elm must have done is take the first 8 chars of our
          hostname and then concatenate the domain on the end.

         How should I 'Configure' this?
 2/ Make that one problem. I have just decided that the other is not related
    to elm.

Thanks Russell.

PS. I think elm is great and I am sure our users will love it. 

                      Thanks to all of you who made it possible.
