I don't know about your specific problem, but if I try to post to a
bulletin board from sendmessage, it puts the wrong thing in the "To:"
field after it validates the address (seems to be getting stuff from
/etc/passwd for the owner of the bulletin board).  If I send mail to the
bboard from within messages, then everything is fine and it gets sent to
exactly what I specify in the second line of the .MS.DirectPost file. 
Is this a bug, or a feature, and if so, what is the rationale?
