[news.software.b] Sender: question

news@zeus.calpoly.edu (That News Dude) (04/29/91)

yet another question...

we're running C news and NNTP, latest versions to the bes tof my knowledge.
we're running under AIX, with the NNTP server on a 370, and all the users
on PS/2s. The whole file system is replicated, so it looks like one big
machine. We NNTP our news over from another place onto the 370, and users
read it as if it were local.

When they post, the From: line comes us user@sitename.calpoly.edu, where
the sitename is the name of the PS/2 they are on. Normal. However, the
Sender: field always has user@zeus.calpoly.edu, which is where the NNTP
server is. To make matters worse, those sites that read and post with
rrn from zeus come up with From: correct, but the Sender: line says:

Sender: @zeus.calpoly.edu ()

Note no user name.

Help? I'd LIKE to have sender be the same as From: in all cases, but
worst case, I'd just hardwire it to say news@zeus.calpoly.edu and be
done with it.
