OK, here you go:-
home$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...

... and that has been delivered to root. Similarly mail sent to
'chris' works too. Huh!?
Just a minute.....
Ah, I'm beginning to understand, mail to 'chris' and 'root' works, but
sendmail would appear to add a hostname to what's sent by an MUA and
anything with a hostname after the username is sent out, which doesn't
work.
