Sendmail.cf for Sun Sparc 2
===========================

I am trying to setup mail for my new Sun Sparcstation 2.
I am running NIS to obtain domain name services.  I am also
running OpenWindows 2.

I tried to modifiy sun supplied sendmail.main.cf and also sendmail files
from Brian Kennedy (Sun Sparc 1+ no DNS, no NIS) and 
Viji M. (Sun 3, no DNS, no NIS).  All of them gave me the same problem.
The mail received at the remote computer had 
'From wathu@lanka' not wathu@lanka.ccit.arizona.edu as expected.

I am enclosing a sample header here

	From wathu@lanka Wed May 29 15:14:49 1991
	Received: from lanka.ccit.arizona.edu by convx1.ccit.arizona.edu with SMTP; Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:49 -0700
	From: wathu@lanka (Wije Wathugala)
	Return-Path: <wathu@lanka>
	Received: by lanka.ccit.arizona.edu; Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:20 MST
	Date: Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:20 MST
	Message-Id: <9105292214.AA00814@lanka.ccit.arizona.edu>
	Apparently-To: wathu@convx1.ccit.arizona.edu
	Status: RO

	test

Could some one tell me how to fix this error.
(I could fix this for external mail by replacing $q by $q.$m in the
H?F?From: $q
line.  However this will mess local mail)

Thank you

Wije
