Sendmail: User Address Required

[craig...@my-deja.com]

Hi,

Im upgrading from postfix to sendmail. Whenever I
start sendmail and start to receive mail this is
what I end up with <user@domain> User Address
required.

Usernames seem to be present in /etc/passwd and
it works fine under postfix.

Any thoughts / ideas ??

Hi,

im currently upgrading from postfix to sendmail.
When i start sendmail and try to receive email i get <user@domain> User
Address Required.

I've checked that the user exists locally on the computer, and the
strange thing is that it works fine with postfix.

Any ideas / suggestions ??

You probably have a broken sendmail.cf - make sure that you build it
from a .mc file and don't try to hand-edit it unless you're an expert.
That error message is normally (i.e. with a non-broken sendmail.cf)
given when sendmail encounters an address of the form '@domain', i.e.
lacking the user-part.
