I got quite a few responses to my previous post about smail 3.1's
visible_name, et. al. and how to get my outgoing mail such that its
computed return address would be correct.
I've had no luck fixing the problem though. Here is a header generated
by smail 3.1.19 (X and tab added) :
X From pgsn1!markd Thu Sep 10 19:51:06 1992
X Return-Path: <pgsn1!markd>
X Received: from pgsn1 by silogic.uucp with uucp
X (Smail3.1.27.1 #3) id m0mT168-0001kGC; Thu, 10 Sep 92 19:51 PDT
X Received: by pgs.sony.com ( Smail3.1.18.1 #PL19 )

I seem to need to get this From line ---------- to reflect our
domain name, pgs.sony.com, in order for mail coming in to me to actually
get to my machine. My machine name is pgsn1 and no matter what I do, I
can't get this From line to come up <markd@pgs.sony.com>.
My config file has ended up as :
visible_name=pgs.sony.com
visible_domains=pgs.sony.com
hostnames=pgs.sony.com:pgsn1.sony.com:pgsn1:pgs
more_hostnames=pgs.sony.com
Thanks again for the help so far, but can anyone get me over the final
hurdle?
