Hi,

	I am interested in learning how to configure a sendmail.cf file.
Can someone please refer me to some learning materials?

I'm looking for information on setting up our sendmail.cf file so that the
from line will be correct. Currently we can not receive replies in this
manner, the entire address must be entered. We are using a vanilla version of
the sendmail.cf file and we have tried both the 4.0.3 and the 4.1 version that
came with our systems. Our configuration is as follows: 

Our relay host for access to UUnet is a Sun 3/160 running the 4.0.3 operating
system. Also in our network are a Sun 4/360, which is our server, and 4
Sparcstation 1+ systems. The server and Sparcs are running 4.1 o/s.    
We are serviced by Uunet and therefore our domain is uunet.uu.net.

The problem that we are experiencing is that, as an example, the address of
user%host@uunet.uu.net will return in the from line - uunet!@!user.

If the address is entered as uunet!host!client!user, then the from line
will be returned correctly. I suspect that there is a problem in the
rulesets in sendmail.cf but I'm not sure where. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Please email any responses to 

	uunet!konkord!kc

 remember, you can't reply to us any other way. I will post any responses that
I receive.
