Several responses to me have focused on the idea that BSD had some
problems with the code, and that perhaps I could hack it into shape. My
contact with SGI indicates that the problem was not with the BSD
code...and to look for the answer somewhere in the wrapper that qmail was
sending thru...
The sendmail wrapper does fine for many functions but, as I found out,
makes for lots of problems when using reply and reply all features of BSD
mail.
Though I struggled I finally found another wrapper (not sure where it came
from...but I found it in /var/qmail/bin) called bsd.mail.wrapper, which I
put in place of the other sendmail wrapper.
Was the bsd.mail.wrapper a part of the normal sendmail replacement
procedure and I just missed it? Any ideas?
In any case, through limited testing the problem seems to be resolved :)
On to the next one!
Thanks for all the responses,
