I'm running sendmail (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/Submit) solaris 10.

When I send mail to root at the command line (whether I use a full-qualified address or just root), I get the error message

root... User address required.

Sending mail to root (either at the command line or in a cron job), fails. I just tried to send to root as me, and the failure notice came to my exchange account.

The format of the e-mail address is incorrect. Check the address, look up the recipient in the Address Book, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
< host.domain.com #5.1.3>


This is my submit.mc and all mail is correctly relaying to the exchange server, and mail from root shows correctly as root@host.domain.com.
