Hi All;

I tried to send an external email from my RedHat 6.2 server, while
connected to my ISP. Sendmail said the sender needed to be real.

my hosts file is

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain gtech

How and what do I configure to have sendmail change <logon_name@gtech>
to <ispusername@ispname>???
