Please send all responses to: leahymr@vtrtsl.cs.vt.edu Thanks. -Jeff E. Nelson --- begin forwarded message I'm having problems getting sendmail to run correctly on some 3B2s. Everytime I run mailx, the list of headers shows the name in the 'From ' line, not the name in the 'From: ' line. For instance, the following message header (forwarded from vtopus): ------------- From leahymr Mon Oct 17 13:45 EDT 1988 Received: from vtopus.cs.vt.edu (vtopus.cs.vt.edu.ARPA) by vtrtsl.cs.vt.edu (4.12/25-eef) id AA00507; Mon, 17 Oct 88 13:45:33 edt Return-Path: Date: Mon, 17 Oct 88 13:48:35 edt Message-Id: <8810171748.AA28754@vtopus.cs.vt.edu> From: jen%vtcs1.dnet@vtopus.cs.vt.edu Subject: Info on NeXT machine ------------- shows up in the list of message headers as: mailx version 3.1 Type ? for help.

Our machine is a 3B2/400 running Sys V Rel 3.1. We are running WIN/3B TCP/IP, Release 2.1. If I messed up the sendmail.cf file, I don't know how to fix it. Or is it a problem with sendmail itself? Any help will greatly be appreciated. Michael Leahy Virginia Tech CS Department INTERNET: leahymr@vtrtsl.cs.vt.edu BITNET: leahymr@vtcc1.bitnet
