We're trying to set up majordomo 1.94.1 on SunOS/Solaris NIS network and
are getting a very interesting problem....

Given:
      systemA - mail server
      systemB - mail forwarder
      systemC/D - mail clients mounting /var/spool/mail from systemA.

NIS is involved because list-request is aliased to list-request@systemA

Mailing to the list-request alias from systemA works.
Mailing from systemB to list-request@systemA or from systemC or systemD
fails with user@systemA or user@systemC/D is not a valid return address.

request-answer: zjat02@apctrc is not a valid return address.

Yet sendmail vrfy returns a 250 - valid address.

What gives?

All of the use is going to be intranet and a lot of it will be local so
fully qualified domain names aren't normally used...
Please email me directly.

Thanks.
