I'm setting up my Linux box for something new to me. It's on ADSL, and I have my own domain for it. I want all addresses from it to come out as @clicker.org, but right now, it is coming out as @linux.clicker.org (adding the box name) I've used yast to have a domain name of domain.org, and hostname of linux (I have no imagination). I took the sendmail default (but tried the expert configuration too with the same results) "host with permanent internet connection" Any ideas? kathleen
The simplest thing to do is to start YaST (1) (type "yast" at the command line). Then choose "system administration" and then "change configuration file" at the bottom. In the configuration file, set FROM_HEADER to the desired value. You can also do this directly by editing /etc/rc.config. I don't know anything about sendmail configuration, I use Postfix, and suggest that at some point in the future you also switch... smaller, faster, probably more secure by design, and easier to configure by hand. BTW, please configure your mail client to wrap lines at 74-80 characters. For those of us with standards-compliant email clients, the unwrapped text is hard to read.
