SUMMARY: dtmail vs. netscape mail

I've received some emails which showed me the difference between Netscape
Mail and Dtmail.
Netscape Mail is using POP3 to talk to SMTP on mail server.
and Dtmail is using SMTP directly with sendmail.cf file.

But there are no much help on why Netscape mail can send email to a email
address but Dtmail cann't on the same workstation.

Anyway, the work around to me is to use Netscape to send email to those address
which I knew were not delieverable by Dtmail.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

I found that I can't send email to certain addresses by Dtmail.
But I don't have problem to receive emails.

For example, This email is sent by netscape Mail, I've sent the same
email by dtmail but didn't see it showed on mailing list. It was lost!

By using -v to debug and check mail server log file, it seems that
email was sent OK but receiver didn't receive it and I didn't get
the bounced mail.

Further more, If I use Netscape Mail on the same workstation, I'm able
to send email to the same address.

What's difference between Netscape Mail and Dtmail in terms of handling
send email?

How do I debug the problem? I'd like to keep on Dtmail.

P.S. workstation is Solaris 2.5.1 with CDE, netscape v3.01
