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. DiVecchio <markd@pgsn1.Sony.COM>
X	X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11]

I have set:
#define VISIBLE_NAME pgs.sony.com

Thanks, mark
