I've a domain, mainstream.com, which is able to send and receive mail
just fine.

Because I'm using another host to actually handle the mail for me
(since my internet hookup is down) all mail coming from my machine has
uucp bang addresses.  This really confuses mailers that try and
respond to messages as they usually only get a bang address that goes
as far as my relay host.

How can I make sendmail, though the sendmail.cf file?, make my mail
look like it came from user@mainstream.com instead of
relay!localhost!user?

Thanks.
