Greetings,

I'm having a problem with sending mail.  I use a machine that is not the  
mail server, and it's using the standard sendmail.subsidiary.cf file  
(with our uucp sites in it).  When I send mail from this machine, my  
from: address looks like machine_name!brian@chromagrafx.com.  This  
causes some confusion among repliers... they get error messages that  
look like:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 chroma!brian... Never heard of UUCP host chroma

(chroma is a non-mail-server machine)

I'd like to find a way around this problem.  I've tried just setting the  
reply-to field to brian@chromagrafx.com, but I've found that not all  
mail apps use this.  What I'd really like to do is force whatever comes  
out to be name@chromagrafx.com, but I'm not that good at hacking the  
sendmail.cf file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian
