I am trying mail. I am using the /mail/lib files remotemail, rewrite
and smtpd.conf from v3 (as it works correctly there). Sending mail
out from box works but incoming mail has a problem shown below.
Rewrite file is also included.

The following needs to produce your sysname.

	ndb/query ether `{cat /net/ether0/addr} sys

That is, you need in your ndb files an entry containing

	ether=your.ether.addr
	sys=your.sys.name

so that ndb/cs can figure out your system name.
