Listmates,

Where do you configure the setting for mail to send mail as user@xxxxxxxxxx instead of sending as user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? I've looked at .mailrc options, no help, I've read man mailx no help. Where is this little setting stored?

The mail is submitted to Postfix, and Postfix by default adds the hostname to qualify the sender address:

postconf -d myorigin
myorigin = $myhostname

You probably want
$myorigin = $mydomain
