I am trying to get mail to work on our little 3 node
Apollo network. We are running Domain/IX 9.7 4.2 BSD.
At this point, no machine can send mail to any other
machine. When I try to send mail to user@othernode using the
verbose option, it displays 
      ... Connecting to .ether..
      user@othernode... Host unknown.

I am using /usr/ucb/mail.
Telnet,ftp and rlogin work fine between all the nodes.
Any help would be appreciated,
Dieter Rothmeier
