I have a problem with the RS/6000 sendmail.  I've configured it
properly so it realizes who it is and who the UUCP relay is, but
it passes the wrong machine name in the HELO message sent to the
remote SMTP.

The conversation goes a lot like this:

[RS/6000 talking to sendmail on ISC 2.2]
>>> HELO isc-box
<<< 553 Local configuration error, hostname not recognized as local

Another box, an NCR Tower, gives the same 553 message noting that
it refuses to talk to itself.

Internal mail on the RS/6000 works fine, and I can mail from the
ISC box into the 6000, but I can't get outbound mail to work.

Any help you can provide (like a copy of sendmail 5.61 or greater
that's non-IBM that will work on the box :-)) will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
