[comp.mail.sendmail] converting sender fields

network@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Postmaster) (05/29/90)

I would be very grateful for someone to mail me tips on the most 
efficient way of getting sendmail to map login IDs to mail IDs
so that mail from John Smith at our site (uk.ac.soton.ecs)
would appear with header lines like:

From J.Smith@uk.ac.soton.ecs  Tue, 29 May 90 14:40:50 BST
From: "John Smith" <J.Smith@uk.ac.soton.ecs>
....

rather than js@uk.ac.soton.ecs which is the default.

We have a net of about 30 unix machines which forward all mail
over the ether to a central server.   We aren't yet running
the latest sendmail 5.61+IDA.

Many thanks,
