	I have a 3.4 STABLE laptop. I believe the version of sendmail that is
	on it is the one that came with 3.4

	This machine autocinfigures to vaariosu networks. The primary two are
	at home, and at work. In both cases the networks are protecetd from the
	internet by firewalls.

	At work I have some Sum machines that I wish to be able to mail
	directly to my laptop. At home it should never recieve mail.

	I hacke the sendmail.cf files on the Sun's and coerced them inot
	sending mail to my machine. However I did not get that end of it quite
	correct, so the mail comes as user_name#hostname (without the domain
	portion). My machine rejects this out of hand. here is what I am geting
	in the logfile:

	Apr 20 16:20:29 brown sendmail[11779]: QAA11779: ruleset=check_mail,
	arg1=<root@
	AP0550>, relay=waterap [170.85.113.45], reject=501 <root@AP0550>...
	Sender domai
	n must exist

	size=0, cla
	ss=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=waterap [170.85.113.45]
	AApr 20 16:36:12 brown sendmail[11793]: alias database /etc/aliases.db
	out of dat
	e

	Apr 20 16:38:18 brown sendmail[11802]: QAA11802: ruleset=check_mail,
	arg1=<root@
	AP0550>, relay=waterap [170.85.113.45], reject=501 <root@AP0550>...
	Sender domai
	n must exist
	A

	What can I change in the FreeBSD machine's sendmail.cf to make it more
	tolerant of this?

	Thanks.
