My question might be placed in "Most Frequently Asked" category, but with
a lack of my understanding of appropriate documentation and bit of
lazyness on my part I would like to ask this question regarding
sendmail.cf configuration.

Problem:

We have several diskless nodes connected to imatron.COM.  When outgoing
mail goes out originating from any one of these nodes, RETURN-PATH of each
outgoing mail contains the machine name of the originating machine.  For
example, foobar@lazy.imatron.COM

What I want to do:

Can I reconfigure something so that all outgoing mail from our diskless
nodes will have return path in the style of foobar@imatron.COM?  I tried
to change Dj$w.$m to Dj$m in sendmail.cf of our subsidiary machines but
doing so seems to open up infinite sockets and sendmail reports errors.

If you have an answer:

Please email me your answers. I will summarize them and post them on this
group. I also welcome any other neat tricks you do with your mail.  They
will also be summarized.

Thank you very much in advnace for your help.
