Can anyone recommend a suitable delivery agent to be used for the 'Mlocal'
specification in sendmail that will handle the From lines.  Presently,
I'm using the following specification in sendmail.cf -

	Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=mail $u

The problem is that the delivered mail contains the 'From_' line with
the sender as 'root' instead of the person that actually sent the mail.
Using the 'n' flag to stop insertion of the 'Unix From line' doesn't appear
to work.  There is an 'escaped' From line (as in >From ) which contains the
sender's address.

Have I missed something in the mailer flags or setup of sendmail ?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks In Advance
