We are (for reasons I wont bore anyone) still running our sun server
with sun x25/col books/ and uk1.4 sendmail cf.  We now have for a limited
period of say 2 months to support some slave systems for sendmail purposes.

All works acceptably except for the mail donor which causes slave mail
to look as if it comes from root@suna.  THhus replies are tedious.

Is there a quick kludge such as using a donor which issues the -ba 
option of sendmail or anything that I could replace mailer.c with
which would path the problem without involving us in a lot of work
when we are absorbing new mainframe replacements elsewhere.
