Apologies if this is a repeat - the original posting came back with some errors.

I am running sendmail V8 (currently 8.8.5) on our mailhost (SPARCstation 10,
SunOS 4.1.3) and have been using the userdb facility for some months to map
outgoing From: addresses.

This works perfectly well when mail is sent from SunOS 4.1.x clients; however,
I am having problems with Solaris 2 clients. In both cases :
- the clients are running standard Sun sendmail binaries (not V8)
- the respective sendmail.cfs are the standard "subsidiary" ones shipped with
the OS, with minor modifications - for example, explicitly setting the domain
name.
- the mailbox directory is NFS mounted on the mailhost.

Below, I have included some debugging output, in particular the 'setsender' and
'collected header' bits, generated by the mailhost when receiving a message
from a SunOS 4.1.4 client and a SunOS 5.5.1 client respectively :

From the above, it appears that in both cases, udbmatch() is doing its thing
correctly. However, something strange seems be going on with the 'collected
header'. In the case of the SunOS 5 client, certain fields (in particular
'From:') are <NULL> and consequently the local user name is not being converted
to the external name returned by udbmatch(). Can anyone point me in the right
direction on this one ?

TIA,
