just a quickie please

[Shannon Wheeler]

I just tried another users account and it's able to send. In her case, both 
her username and e-mail name are the same.
I do use aliases and redirection for many accounts... after all, I can't 
have 20 users named 'sales'.
The big difference with this one just seemed to be that FreeBSD complained 
about an 18 character username. Sendmail doesn't seem to have a problem with 
it though.
