Hi there!  I am pleading for some assistance here <grin>.  I have noticed
lots of msgs about this tweak and that tweak to sendmail.cf files.  I
really dont understand why there isnt an 'official' set of address rule
conversions... I understand why a site might have to mess with the names
of commands to run, parms to provide, etc.  Anyways, at work we are using
Ultrix 1.2.  We appear to be getting our mail incoming and outgoing now, but
our From: line is showing our home machine name twice in the header:

From: chemabs!chemabs!hall

for example.  We have tried to modify the place where the ruleset states
that it is adding the host name - when we delete the prepending of the
host define ($U) we get NO host name prepended.  Then we tried to modify
ruleset 4 - the final frontier - er... I mean the final output processing.;
I tried a couple of rule transforms that would identify the double name
(which DOES exist at that point) but for some reason couldnt get it to work.
I had some extensive hand written notes on sendmail which I took at the 
DECUS sendmail.god session - Mr Avolio did such a fantastic job at that se
session that the cleaning crew at the hotel STOLE my notes!  Needless to
say I was stunned.  Anyways, now I am attempting to interpret the 
Ultrix doc and the slides from the session and am getting no where.

Any ideas out there?  We have only changed a couple of lines (replaced the
default system name with our outside known name - a constant string.  

Feel free to let me know if I have goofed somewhere obvious.
