How do I set Return-Path: in my sendmail.cf? Our sendmail makes the return
path peter@atlas.abccomp, which is not sufficient for replying from
outside our local site. I have tried changing the entry in sendmail.cf
(appending .oz.au), but the message header is not affected. I have also
been unable to change the From line, although I can change the From: line.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I think a lot of our mail is bouncing,
unless people address according to my signature, which is a nuisance for
them.
