As one of the developers of the UIUC/NIU variant of IDA sendmail, I must say
that Apollos have given me more grief than most of the other platforms I've
used combined.

Since no one in-house has source, I can't determine the WHY of the problem,
only a workaround.

The only thing that works I've found is replacing /bin/mail with the
version that comes with the sendmail package (sendmail/binmail).  This uses
straight getpwent() routines so the registry information and /etc/passwd
need to be kept in sync.

The latest release of IDA sendmail hit the streets yesterday and can be
obtained via anon-FTP in uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:pub/sendmail-5.65b+IDA-1.4.3.tar.Z .

In some cases I've also had to install libresolv.a from the latest bind 
sources before name resolution would work.

Neither IBM or Apollo should be allowed to call their offerings "UNIX".
