As an example, if I send mail, the return address that the recipient sees is mccalpin@masig3 instead of mccalpin@masig3.ocean.fsu.edu Needless to say, this makes it extremely awkward when trying to send and receive mail from sites outside of the fsu.edu domain.... This behavior seems to be independent of the contents of sendmail.cf, and is independent of whether the machine's hostname is set to the short name or the fully-qualified domain name. Has anyone figured out how to fix this? -- John D. McCalpin - mccalpin@masig1.ocean.fsu.edu mccalpin@scri1.scri.fsu.edu mccalpin@delocn.udel.edu
