I am using smail 3.1 PL 19 at a client and they are part of a registered domain. The machine is known in the domain as pgs.sony.com. The actual machine name is pgsn1. When I send mail, the outgoing address is generated as markd@pgsn1.sony.com When people try to reply to this address, it bounces since the domain machine does not know pgsn1.sony.com but wants to see pgs.sony.com. Can anyone help me figure out how to set VISIBLE_NAME, HOSTNAMES, and GATEWAY_NAMES in the smail conf/EDITME file to get my address to come out pgs.sony.com? (or is there something else I have to set?) Here is a typical header that I get (X and tab inserted so as to not confuse anything carrying this message): X Return-Path: <pgsn1!markd> X Received: by sonyusa.Sony.COM (4.0/SMI-4.0) X id AA01484; Wed, 2 Sep 92 17:27:34 PDT X Received: by pgs.sony.com ( Smail3.1.18.1 #PL19 ) X id <m0mQ4nb-0002dpC@pgs.sony.com>; Wed, 2 Sep 92 17:11 PDT X Message-Id: <m0mQ4nb-0002dpC@pgs.sony.com> X Subject: test X To: sonyusa!markd X Date: Wed, 2 Sep 92 17:11:43 PDT X From: Mark C.
