New bug report received and forwarded.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

(8.8.4 instead of 8.7.6) This required me to re-create a cf file, which I did from the mc file included below. My computer is connected to mail (and news) via UUCP. This I of course am using the nodns option. However, sendmail does not seem to recognize it or act on it appropriately. For instance, when I type: mail -s test jgoerzen And type a short message, sendmail will go out to my PPP connection and look up something on DNS before delivering the message. (At least that's the best I can determine). My hostname (complete.org) is defined in /etc/hosts with an appropriate loopback address, and hostname -f dpes return a proper address. The previous version of Sendmail worked fine. This behavior has serious implications since I am running diald on this machine. Whenever a message is delivered to somebody on the local machine, Sendmail brings up the PPP link! This, of course, should not happen. I have tried several difference mc files. Below is one the explicitly defines my own domain and includes the nocanonify option -- I have tried it without those two things as well. Nothing I can think of seems to work. --==_Exmh_20974834960 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Description: centre.mc divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.
