Has anyone done it? > I came in late so I don't know what the original question but if you have a statement like this in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc MASQUERADE_AS(trinity.edu)dnl and then run: make -C /etc/mail Your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file will have a line in it like: DMtrinity.edu and if you restart sendmail all your mail be sent coming from the domain trinity.edu. Obviously you need to change trinity.edu to the domain you want your mail to come from by default. -- ======================================================================= You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all alike. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
