Well, sometimes mail comes in and gets delivered fine. Other times
it does not.  Does anyone have incoming/outgoing mail working  
smoothly
with SLIP on thier machine?  I'd really like to get this pinned down.
A friend of mine says that the version of "sendmail" that is on the 
NeXT is broken...  It seems to work sometimes, however...

Could someone detail the steps needed to get mail working reliably?

So far, the only thing I've done is add a /etc/resolv.conf file
that has my domain and a few nameserver machines listed.  I'm running
a NetInfo network with one machine (both / and .).

Thanks,
Ralph
