Help a sendmail neophyte!

We have several NCR Towers running Wollongong (WIN) TCP/IP straight
out of the box.  Sendmail overrides existing From_ headers and adds
its own From_root:

	From root Mon Jun 11 15:27 PDT 1990
	>From bhoule@se-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM Mon Jun 11 15:26:48 1990
	Return-Path: <bhoule@se-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM>

	Message-Id: <9006112227.AA13226@se-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM>
	From: bhoule@se-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (Bill Houle)
	Date: Mon, 11 Jun 1990 15:27:01 PDT
	X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.1.1 5/02/90)
	To: bhoule@arcturus
	Subject: from se-sd to arcturus

Sendmail is SUID root and is running as "/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m".
The .cf files are untouched except for adding the host and domain name.

There is probably a real simple solution, but I plead ignorance.  I
have read TFM, but the man page of the .cf file is only 1 page long
and basically says "don't touch!"

On a related note, I've been reading Rob Kolstad's sendmail.cf
tutorial in Unix Review and am interested in finding Eric Allman's
"Sendmail: Installation and Operation Guide".  It did not come with
the Wollongong package.  [I don't have ftp access, so if it is
ftp'able, could someone get it for me?]

Thanks for any help whatsoever.....
