Yes, it's weird. but that's what's happening.
I upgraded to Sendmail 8.7.6 yesterday before the daily system log update
went through. Now, instead of "Charlie Root" as the addressee, it
shows up in elm as:
2 Sep 19 Charlie ????D???@? (69) daily output
looking in the actual inbox, I see this:
From: "Charlie ^P0xce0xbf0xf7D0xce0xbf0xf7@0xce0xbf0xf7]0xce0xbf0xf7m0xd0^C" <ro
ot>
This must be some clash between new Sendmail and the name "Charlie &" in
the passwd file. But what is it?
