Re: [foxboro] Sendmail error

Tim,

While the fix given in the HH works, our mailserver didn't like the
letterbug+period format.  To resolve this, we added "local" after the period.

Instead of:
151.128.8.65 AW51B1 AW51B1. loghost

Try:
151.128.8.65 AW51B1 AW51B1.local loghost

Additionally, you'll soon realize that nearly every commit or release upgrade
you have to re-apply these changes.

I wrote the script below to run after each commit to re-apply the sendmail
fixes.  Because it rmounts each workstation in the network, before running make
sure there are no rmounted workstions (I'll probably rewrite this with rsh when
I get around to it).

Regards,

Kevin FitzGerrell
