To bring things up to date, I was trying to have my domain name tacked
on to the end of the Unix "From " line in outgoing mail messages.  It
now appears that I didn't understand a couple of things.

Messages leaving our site have a line like:

    From dan  Thu Dec 14 13:36:22 1989 remote from asitor

When they are delivered, the From line get changed to:

    From asitor!dan  Thu Dec 14 13:40:14 1989

What I really wanted to do was have the outgoing line look like:

    From dan  Thu Dec 14 13:36:22 1989 remote from asitor.AUTOSYS.COM

and on the receipt end

    From asitor.AUTOSYS.COM!dan  Thu Dec 14 13:40:14 1989


To do this I was looking into the sendmail.cf and smail (v2.5).  It
appears that the solution is within smail, but I would like to run it
by the people on the net for comments.

In the file defs.h, change the RFROM macro.

Original:

#define RFROM(frm,now,host) \
              "From %s  %.24s remote from %s\n",frm,now,host

Suggested improvement:

#define RFROM(frm,now,host) \
              "From %s  %.24s remote from %s%s\n",frm,now,host,MYDOM


This will accomplish what I am seeking, however, I do not have the
experience to say "Yes, this is the correct solution".

Comments will be appreciated.  Thanks.
