AMD.COM never told them to send our mail to SUN.COM. It may be that most sendmails assume a .COM site is on the Internet and don't bother to check for a uucp connection and that the configuration files need to be changed. From what I hear, it appears that the details of this change are still under development. I would have to say that the release of smail was premature or incomplete. -- My left foot is digital, my right foot is analog.
