Just installed a fresh 2.2.2 system and am wondering why the default sendmail.cf (with only a smart relay host change) is trying to locally deliver a message addressed to something that looks like the following: To: Brock.Meeks@MSNBC.COM (Meeks, Brock) The local sendmail is bouncing this back claiming: 550 Brock... User unknown Why is it even attempting to parse out "First" from the whole address as a separate user? Interestingly, the intended offsite recipient does get a copy of the outgoing message, and all other address formats I've tried work. It generates a second bounce, too: 550 <Brock.Meeks@MSNBC.COM>... Host unknown (Name server: msnbc.com host not found) It's, of course, MX'd, but I find it odd that the default sendmail.cf that ships with FreeBSD would not be able to correctly parse this address. Perhaps this is a problem with the elm in packages-2.2.2? Any ideas? --Morgan
