Does anybody know what process sendmail is going through on a Sun when using the OR
flag?  I'd like to have all mail from root in the form root@hostname.  This is 
the default if you are running sendmail in the background daemon mode and are
using sendmail.subsidiary.cf as your sendmail.cf.  However, when the OR flag (relay
all mail to another host) is used sendmail seems to ignore the sendmail.cf file so
all mail from daemons, etc is simply addressed to root.

Any ideas, anyone?  Short of stop using the OR option?
