Hello UUCPeople,

I am interested in setting up sendmail so that it will produce a
From: line with devil@imp.uucp instead of imp!devil. I find
that the second form is then added to by other mailers on the path,
while the first stays as it is (which is much neater, as I am
registered in the maps). I know this has something to do
with UUCP parsing rules in sendmail.

Does anyone out there have sample sendmail.cf rules to do
this? I am not a sendmail.cf hacker at heart, and all those
!@%$ signs don't mean much to me...

This is on a Sparc SLC, running SunOS 4.1 with standard
sendmail that comes with it.

AdvThanks,

-- Gil.

(This is actually for a neighboring node. I run Smail and it's
 much nicer IMHO, and I do hack Smail stuff... ).
