Recently I started suffering a bit of email trouble.

I would send messages, and they would seem to go away just fine, but
they'd never get to their destination, and they'd never bounce.

I can send mail with the command-line tool just fine, though.  How
odd.

Here's a snippet of the logs from a recent test that succeeded from
the command line:

Mar 10 00:17:40 duchess sendmail[21511]: f2A8HeH21511: from=jmt, size=53, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200103100817.f2A8HeH21511@duchess.twilley.org>, relay=jmt@localhost
Mar 10 00:17:50 duchess sendmail[21513]: f2A8HeH21511: to=jmt+usenet@tbe.net, ctladdr=jmt (1001/1001), delay=00:00:10, xdelay=00:00:10, mailer=relay, pri=30053, relay=mulan.twilley.org. [10.74.84.254], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (f2A8IKf21223 Message accepted for delivery)

Here's a snippet from a failed message:

Mar 10 00:18:22 duchess sendmail[21524]: f2A8IMF21524: Authentication-Warning: duchess.twilley.org: jmt set sender to jmt@tbe.net using -f
Mar 10 00:18:22 duchess sendmail[21524]: f2A8IMF21524: from=jmt@tbe.net, size=821, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200103100818.f2A8IMF21524@duchess.twilley.org>, relay=jmt@localhost

I'm used to the warning -- that's fine -- but the interesting
difference I found was that "nrcpts" value.  In the command-line
example, it's equal to one, and in the gnus example, it's equal to
zero.

Now I haven't changed anything as far as I know other than upgrading
Gnus.  It's possible I might have a messed-up sendmail.cf, but I don't
think so.

Any suggestions or hints?

Jack.
