On mail that is passed around our local ethernet, I would like to have
the "@hostname" portion of the "from:" line removed.

Currently all users have a ".forward" file in their home directory.
Mine, for instance, says "dan@asisan".

If I send mail to myself from host "asisan", the from line looks like:

  From: dan (Dan O'Neill)

If I send mail to myself from host "sanf", the from line looks like:

  From: dan@sanf (Dan O'Neill)

I would like all mail that is delivered/sent locally to contain only
the name of the user in the from fields.

I have changed the "from" field definitions and some of the resolution
rules with no luck.  I am beginning to think that "sendmail" places
the name of the system after the user name when mail is delivered.

Thanks for any help you can give.
