You should start by getting patch 4, which includes additional files and
patches specifically for the apollo.

} 2-> The From: line of the messages I send will contain the name of
}     the machine I sent the message from.

This is a generic problem resulting from mush's use of the first host
alias returned by gethostbyname() [the first word of the $hostname
variable] when constructing addresses.  Frequently that is the simple
hostname with no domain.  A properly configured sendmail will rewrite
those to the full domain, but properly configured sendmails appear to
be rather rare beasts.

set hostname = "$hostname:2 $hostname:1"

in /usr/lib/Mushrc or your .mushrc will usually fix it.  Failing that,

set hostname = "jsp.com $hostname"

(where jsp.com is whatever you want the From: to use).
