I hope this is the right news group to post this request.

Curently, we are using a sendmail.cf file configured for a machine
with "only uucp connections".  The symbol ! has the highest
precedence.

This folly has now caught up with us, and I have taken on the task to
correct our sendmail.cf file.  I am new to the guts of sendmail, so
any help to would be apreciated.

As a side issue: The line in the "from:" field is in the form 
		cornell!foo@blort.edu 
and when a reply (via "r") is sent the mail often disappears.  Addresses
in the form 	foo@blort.edu 	work fine.  Is there a way not to have
the cornell! prepended to the "from" address line?

Thanks in advance.

 I don't have my sendmail manual here, and it's been months since I looked
at it, but there are two things to consider:

one fix is to have a rule for: single token (cornell?) ! token @ random.stuff
that spits out token@random.stuff

This should work for both outgoing and ingoing mail.
