            There should be a file in /etc that contains a table to
convert usernames to e-mail addresses for outgoing mail (the relevant
line in mine reads 'rt : rthrippleton@yahoo.com' and works fine). My
mail transport agent Exim uses /etc/email-addresses but it might be
different with Sendmail.
