Sendmail problem

Linux Sendmail

[mack]

I was setting up a linux email server and have a config issue. When I send mail it is received fine by the recipient, but the email cant be returned. I took a closer look and the from address is [e-mail] Obviousl the www part should not be there.

Does anyone knwo what config file contains this adress?

Mack.

IIRC, Sendmail will always use its hostname in the from address, when you're emailing using a user account. So, if you're logged in as mack at that server, and you simply type "mail [e-mail]" at the command line, it will fill it in for you.

You normally need to build your app to change the "from" and reply-to addresses.

I haven't experimented enough with the command-line version to see how to change that particular header.

You can also change the hostname, or force sendmail to use a particular hostname by changing "Dj$w.Foo.COM" in your sendmail.cf file. I *think*, at least, I haven't tried this. :)
