I seem to have made a mistake, or have a misunderstanding about how
the visible_name attribute works in Smail 3.19.  

In my $LIB_DIR/config file I have the lines:

	visible_domains = com
	visible_name = sware.com

And my smail was compiled with DOMAINS=sware.com in EDITME.  Now, I
was under the impression that this would cause mail headers to be
munged so that it looked like mail going out from our site came from
$user@sware.com.  However, what I've got is mail in the form
$user@$users_machine.sware.com.  Any clues?

Failing that, is there a way that I can force Smail to insert a
`Reply-To:' header of the form that I want, if the user hasn't
supplied one (or is this a blaspheme against the mail-header-gods?)?

Many thanks...
