I don't know what you mean by that. Here's an example. On my smail
boxes, if I send a message to myself, I get


    From: Hamish Moffatt <hamish@rising.com.au>
      To: Hamish Moffatt <hamish>

On my exim box, which has /etc/mailname saying rising.com.au, I get

    From:
      To: Hamish Moffatt <hamish@hamishpc>
      Cc:

Then I can't actually send it either; I get "child exited with 127 ()".
Odd, it used to work.
