There is currently a serious problem with mail to many of
the unix sites on campus that are not in the NIC host table.
This is that they will not accept mail addressed to their
domain name (eg playfair.stanford.edu)  Since Sushi is
using domains as a first choice, and Score is using domain
style names in preference to PUP (and much mail is forwarded
to these sites through Score) this means that they are not
receiving a lot of mail.

is there a simple solution to this problem (short of having
everybody start running full domain software)?  Maybe some
sendmail configuration file magic (there seems to be quite
a variety of such files out there - Playfair thinks that
its name is playfair.ARPA and leland thinks its name is
just leland, for example...)
