Hello,
I have a question. I am running sendmail 8.93 on  RH6.1.
I have usernames like 'lastname' or so, I like in to sendmail to appear
as you have the email firstname.lastname@domain.com

I think this is convinient to my users as they will logon to the system
by FTP etc. and typeing in firstname.lastname as username is a little
long (cumbersome).

I was wondering is this possible?

Thanks for your help!
