I'm having a problem with the address generated when someone tries to 
reply to a mail message.  I'm running Unix V 3.2.2 with Wollongong
TCP/IP 3.01 on an AT&T 3B2/700.  The mail program is 'mailx.'  When
a user receives a message using mailx (which I think is basically the
mail program from BSD Unix) and tries to reply, the message is always
sent back to root.  This is because the 'From:' line lists the sender
as root.  I think the problem is in the sendmail.cf config file, but I
have not been able to remedy it.  I would appreciate mail responses to
this problem.  Thanks.
