I have my system configured to be accessed from a multi-user 
Windows95 box using MS Exchange over the LAN, and it seems to be working 
pretty well...
but:
when e-mail addresses are set up correctly (e.g. jeanie@tomqnx.com)
popper seems to pass them off to mail.local which rejects them as
illegal local addresses (which they are, of course). But if I set the
e-mail address as 'jeanie', I think that would be equally incorrect
for the resultant address on a CC for example which a remote person might
try to reply to.
I am running 'smail' aliased as sendmail.

Have I made any obvious errors?  Any suggestions?
WHat info do I need to supply?
