=system it does <gorpong> and on the Sun it does <gorpong@host>.  Wierd.

I tried "options locname='"ping.chi.il.us"'" in the MH configuration file
thinking that it would make a difference.  No dice.  Is it possible that
post(8) (which the manual states will add the '@localhost' option) will
only add that if the option BSD42 or BSD43 is set?  Can it possibly think
that only Berkeley sites handle ARPAnet mail?  I am now very confused.
I have been told that I could get the MMDF source (SCO UNIX uses MMDF)
off of someplace like uunet, but I also got a response from someone at
SCO informing me that SCO has made changes and added things to the standard
MMDF stuff, and if I got the sources, I would lose that value added stuff,
and my support.  Having post(8) being setuid is a Very, Very BAD thing
and I even tried to get MH to do the delivery itself, no dice.  Until I
can figure this out, I am stuck with mailx.

Thank you all for any help you gave me.  I appreciate it!
