Has anyone experience with getting UK-sendmail's multihost configuaration to
turn unix usernames into "official" aliases in outgoing "From:"  lines?

The SUN-supplied sendmail.cf does something with the YP map "mail.byaddr"
which can be used with aliases like :-

 a.n.other: guest@mailserver
 guest:     a.n.other

The YP "make" builds mail.byaddr from this so you can get sendmail
to translate "guest@mailserver" into "a.n.other@domain", whereas I
think uk-sendmail currently produces "guest@domain".

What we want is to have our outgoing From lines free of usernames.
