Generate u@h.d in .cf, } hand it to smail. Smail will turn the From_'s u@h.d around to h.d!u. This is an opportunity to ask a (related but tangental) question about something that's been bugging me. We're an MX served uucp-only site. I note that when mail originated from here arrives at some recipient, transported via the good graces of our local friendly neighborhood internet gateway, the headers look like: From drd!DRD.Com!user (is this the From_ referred to above?) From: user@DRD.Com Who's responsible for this? Did my sendmail re-write it (how do I tell)? Is it likely my internet gateway did it? I get a lot of mail bounced back to me especially from vm sites (griping that the From_ header doesn't have an FQDN in it). We and our internet gateway are running Sun's with 4.0.3 and the stock sendmail sun supplies. I think my gateway is running a fairly stock sendmail.mx provided with SunOS. If I'm restarting the war between the bang re-writers and the absolute domainists (which I followed *mostly*), my apologies. I just want my mail to get through.
