Since you relaying all mail sent from client machines to a central mail server, adding the following to your client's sendmail.cf may help. Dq<$g> It should be replacing a line which may read similar to: Dq$g$?x ($x)$. This is for setting the "From: " line. If the envelope "from" and the header "from" match ("From: "), sendmail will attempt to add the full name, given that you have something similar to the latter definition for the q macro defined in your server's sendmail.cf.
