test after reboot. LOGNAME and USER have 'jerry' in them. Nothing else does. So I don't know where the SuSE mail list is getting jerry@jlkreps.net as my email address. Both my reply to and my from have the correct address.
It's quite simple--your linux box is configured to send out mail as jlkreps.net, and your login account is jerry. So when you send out mail, your default envelope sender address is jerry@jlkreps.net.
Correct me if I am wrong, but he can overcome that problem by editing /etc/mail/genericstable to read something like: # # map outgoing sender addresse from foo to bar@domain.com: # foo bar@domain.com # jerry jerrykreps@jlkreps.net and don't forget to update the database... (running SuSEconfig will do it for you...)
