- We are having a strange problem with sendmail on sun4 slc's
- running 4.1.1. If a user sends mail to a list of people
- and spells one of the user names incorrectly, then the people
- in that list that come after the misspelled name do not get
- the mail, even though the sendmail daemon just says that
- the name was spelled wrong. For example, here is a sample
- of a mail session:
-
- Mail -v andrason hanson davis jjamison
- Subject: test
- This is a test.
- Cc: lazear
- andrason@skiff.mitre.org.113: Trying 128.29.31.10... connected.

- It puts the users in alphabetical order, and does not mail out
- after the unknown user (hanson). jjamison & lazear do not receive
- the mail.
-
- Has anyone ever heard of this? Is this a bug or can I fix it?
-
- Thanks for any help.
