Subject: Re:  Talking to Apollo gateways running sendmail from other Unix systems

Take a look at your /usr/lib/sendmail.cf file. Near the top of the file your
hostname is defined. My file looks something like:

# The $w macro is preset by sendmail to the current host's
# name. Here we simply capture the value in our own $A macro.
#
DA$w
#
# The $j macro is the name presented to remote SMTP servers when
# establishing a mail connection. It should always be your fully
# qualified domain name.
#
Dj$w.$D


The value of the $w macro is taken from the file `node_data/thishost, and
is the name of the node in most cases. You can, however, change the line
containing the $w.$D macro (which should expand to "richter.mit.edu" in the
case of this message) to have the name of the gateway node wired into it
instead of the name of the current node. You would use something like:

Djmail-reply-node.my-domain

(I would use: Djrichter.mit.edu if I wanted all messages to be returned to
"richter" instead of the node which originated the message).
