The environment: SCO UNIX 3.2.2, ELM 2.3 PL11, MMDF configured.

In ELM, I say "m"
Send the message to: xyname     ...and get this error:

Submit: Channel 'name.abacus.UUCP' does not exist

...after the "Mail sent!" message.  The name was truncated in the front.
This error only occurs when the user's mail address is more than 4 
characters.  Names 4 or less characters work fine.  Mail to external 
addresses work, i.e. abname@company.com works.  'mail xname' also works.
(i.e. non-ELM mail works).

Its just ELM that fails.  Can you help me?
