I also had the same trouble with Interactive 2.2 untill I discovered
that any host in my domain that I wanted to send mail to had to be in
my host file with its full domain name. ie. host "scorp" has to also
have "scorp.ma02.bull.com" in my host file. This is even though we
are using a mail server in our domain.
