Maybe the sendmail wizards out there can help me with this one.

I've got a network of 20 NeXTs.  One, named dix, is the mailhost and
uses /etc/sendmail/sendmail.mailhost.cf, while the others use the
sendmail.sharedsubsidiary.cf.  It works fine, but I have one question:

If I send mail to the outside world from one of the mail clients,
shouldn't it still appear to be from cartley@dix, rather than
cartley@"client"?  The reason I ask is that the name of the mailhost is
likely to be a permanent feature, while some of the clients may be only
temporary (due to name changes, network changes, etc.).  Therefore, I
would prefer that outgoing mail contains the name of the permanent
mailhost rather than the client.

Also, to successfully send mail to cartley@client, the client needs root
access to the /usr/spool/mail directory.  Keeping track of root access
is a pain in the neck when machines come and go.

I suspect that this would be an easy thing to do with the sendmail
configuration file.  Does anyone know how to do it?  Or perhaps you can
tell me why this would be a bad idea.

All of the machines are running 3.0 and use the new sendmail files.
