Problem with A/UX sendmail.cf

I have found what I believe is a problem with the sendmail.cf file distributed
with A/UX. I can send RFC 822 mail properly, but I can only receive RFC 822
mail if the other end addresses the recipient as <user>, NOT as
<user at host.domain>. If this second form is used, the sender gets an
"undeliverable message" message back from MAILER-DAEMON. Here is a transcript:
>From MAILER-DAEMON at bubba Thu Dec 22 12:07:58 1988
>Received: from digate (digate.cc.utexas.edu) by bubba with TCP; Thu, 22 Dec...
>Date: Thu, 22 Dec 88...
>From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON at bubba>
>Subject: Returned mail: Service unavailable
>To: <dlnash at digate.cc.utexas.edu>
>Status: R
----- Transcript of session follows -----
>>> HELO bubba
<<< 553 bubba I refuse to talk to myself
554 <dlnash at bubba.ots.utexas.edu>... Service unavailable: No such file or
directory.
----- Unsent message follow -----
[message deleted]
Note that I quoted the header lines myself with ">". I also had to wrap
the 554 line, it was originally one line which was more than 80 characters
long.
As I said earlier, this problem does not happen when the remote SMTP uses
RCPT TO: <dlnash>
It only happens when
RCPT TO: <dlnash at bubba.ots.utexas.edu>
is used. This makes me believe that this is a problem with the sendmail
configuration file. Has anyone else seen this problem? Does someone
have a fix? Thanks in advance for any help.
