Well try /etc/rc.config and edit FROM_HEADER="" to FROM_HEADER="mperry@basin.com" That's another option to try at least.
YES!!!! Thanks Dee. Much appreciated. I had only to include the stuff to the right of the @. Time for a beer. One thing, when I run /sbin/SuSEconfig, it does not make the change but I have to reboot the system to get the FROM_HEADER change included. Is this a normal thing? Just call me curious. I thot that SuSEconfig was dynamic.
Yes it is dynamic. But sometimes the configuration of a running process is modified, and so this process needs to get notified about the changes. In this particular case, a "/sbin/init.d/sendmail reload" would have done the job, as sendmail didn't know that it's configuration had changed. Generally it is never necessary to reboot the system due to a change. If you modify your /etc/exports, you need to notify the NFS server that its configuration has changed ("/sbin/init.d/nfsserver stop; /sbin/init.d/nfsserver start" - oh, here we should add the "reload" feature which does exactly the same). If you want to be on the safe side, you could switch the system into runlevel 1 and back to runlevel 2 or 3 ("init 1" and "init 2"). But normally only some daemon needs to be restarted or notified when its configuration changed.
