There is a patch I think at uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:/mail/sendmail/ucbMail.patch (or look for similar names). The patch doesn't stop the real problem, which is that ucbMail should probably not copy the senders domain to recipient addresses. But with the patch it at least does the copying correctly. >dmildram@encore.com Encore Computer Corp, Marlboro, Mass 508-460-0500 I have cross posted this to comp.sys.encore. The problem is not directly related to encore - it is in the Berkeley sources. BUT - I reported this to encore more than 6 months ago, and I believe I sent a patch at that time. Perhaps now that the problem has struck home, we will see some action. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
