I remember some time back someone posting a way to change outgoing "From:" lines in mail from a username to a full name alias - it involved some changes to the sendmail.cf file, I think.  For example, normally when our user "roscoe" sends e-mail out to the net somewhere, his "From:" line looks like this:

	From: roscoe@afs.com

All our users have full-name aliases.  In roscoe's case, it's Roscoe_Babar, i.e. you can send mail to Roscoe_Babar@afs.com and it winds up in roscoe's mailbox.  We want our outgoing mail to have "From:" lines that use the full-name alias instead of the username:

	From: Roscoe_Babar@afs.com

Does anyone still have the posts on how to do that?  Or know how even if you don't have the old posts?

Please e-mail directly to me.

Thanx,
Michael
