Hi there,

I'm pretty much at a brick wall on the mail -r option.  Every UNIX box
I've tried mail -r from says "Address required after -r" but mine.  When
mail comes in to my box it goes to the mlll queue and then it bounces 
back to the sender with a message "mail -r invalid option."  I've re-compiled
sendmail, Mail and have tried a million different sendmail.cf files without
any luck.  Outgoing mail works great but once mail comes back to the 
queue, it's almost as if it never gets passed to the delivery system.
Any clues?  Any suggestions?  I really appreciate whatever hints you 
could give me.  Thanks.                       

Steve
