	You did read the INSTALL file, didn't you ?

	Check your  /etc/hosts
	I have a feeling it tells something of style:
		1.2.3.4	bucky bucky.alphapower.com alphapower.com

	This however should not matter, as the "localnames" mapping
	has been around for quite a while.

	MAILVAR/db/localnames:
		alphapower.com	alphapower.com
		bucky		alphapower.com

	... unless you have it coded as:
	MAILVAR/db/localnames:
		alphapower.com
		bucky
	... in which case the 'bucky' will not be mapped to the desired
	presentation name ...

	Umm.. No, it is not known problem, but you CAN create it
	with careless configuring...
