Brian and I just talked off list about precisely the same thing. On the Cobalt 
RaQs Sendmail accepts username@localhost as valid sender, provided that the 
user exists on the server. On BQ that doesn't work.

RaQ550:

That may or not be related to the problem. Perhaps it is possible to fix that 
issue with the "stickyhost" Feature in sendmail.mc, as outlined on 
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html

I'll give it a shot on a test server.
