I recently installed SCO Unix System Vr3.2v2.0, which comes with MMDF
as the default MTA.  I managed to get things working fairly well, but
there are two things that still aren't working right:

1. MMDF seems to be putting "host.uucp" instead of "host" in the From_
line.  This is wrong; since From_ is a line that will be interpreted
by UUCP-only mailers (i.e., ones that don't understand domains), this
will break reply paths.  How do I fix this?

2. Most of the systems I connect to via UUCP have a domain name in addition
to a UUCP name.  (For example, "acorus" is also "acorus.mi.org".)  So,
I put the domain name in /usr/mmdf/table/uucp.chn like this:

acorus.mi.org	acorus!%s

The problem is that mail sent to "acorus.mi.org!user" gets queued for
acorus correctly, but mail sent to "user@acorus.mi.org" gets queued for
the host defined in the badhosts channel; evidently, MMDF isn't recognizing
"acorus.mi.org" as a valid address when it's used in a @-format address.
How can I make MMDF do this?
