YA sendmail prob

[jcc at siemens.UUCP]

	There has been a lot of talk about sendmail dropping local
	mail messages.  My problem is a little different.

	We have two vaxes connected by DMR11s.  When I mail from
	vax1 to user at vax2, mail is delivered.  However, when I mail
	from vax2 to user at vax1, the mail is lost ( not even returned
	as being undeliverable). Using the command:

		% /usr/lib/sendmail -v user at vax1

	sendmail tells me that the mail is delivered.  When checking
	vax1's syslog, a message which contains the line:

Dec 14 17:21:45 localhost: 5264 sendmail: AA05262: to=<user at vax1>, delay=00:00:15, stat=Bad usage
Dec 14 17:21:45 localhost: 5264 sendmail: AA05262: to=<jcc at vax2>, delay=00:00:15, stat=User unknown

	The "stat=Bad usage" and "stat=User unknown" confuses me. (NOTE: I can
	mail jcc at vax2 from vax1 via the "mail jcc at vax2" command!!!).  On top
	of all this, the letter is lost.  Any suggestions, fixes, or similiar
	experiences will be appreciated.
