After trying for the last two days I have nearly given up on this
but maybe I will try one more time to see what the gurus have to say
about this.

I installed Nathan Laredo's sendmail package with deliver. I took
a local sendmail.cf file and tweaked it until it seemed to work.
Sending mail out works fine. When I try sending mail to the linux
box, sendmail core dumps. I did a
  
   mail -v root@einstein.physics.arizona.edu

(where einstein is my linux box) from a sun on the network (called
neutrino). Here is what the dialog looked like:

root@einstein.physics.arizona.edu... Connecting to einstein via ether...
Trying 128.196.154.20... connected.
220 einstein.physics.arizona.edu Sendmail 5.65c/SMI-4.1 ready at Thu, 18 Feb 1993 17:32:34 GMT
>>> HELO neutrino.physics.arizona.edu
250 Hello neutrino.physics.arizona.edu, pleased to meet you
>>> MAIL From:<anurag@neutrino.physics.arizona.edu>
250 <anurag@neutrino.physics.arizona.edu>... Sender ok
>>> RCPT To:<root@einstein.physics.arizona.edu>

And that is where it hangs. Sendmail on the linuxbox dumps a core
in /usr/spool/mqueue and forks two or three copies of itself and
creates a lot of cf* and xf* files.

Any ideas?
