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 -- Brian C.
