Let's stop blaming the Unix sendmail program and work toward getting
local sendmail configuration files fixed so gatewaying is handled properly.
At Berkeley we permit users to use different nicknames and top-domain
names with sendmail. Our mail system also transforms non-Internet
addresses into Internet addresses of before transmitting the message
to an Internet mail site.
