Hi there, I have been receiving a lot of mail message with the From line and Return-Path having our gateway hostname appended to it as follows: >From @xlnvax.excelan.com:cratz@csibtfr.UUCP Thu Sep 28 17:16:50 1989 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Return-Path: <@xlnvax.excelan.com:cratz@csibtfr.UUCP> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What I expect to see is a cleaner From line and Return-Path that has no local hostname attached to it (such as) >From cratz@csibtfr.UUCP Thu Sep 28 17:16:50 1989 Return-Path: <cratz@csibtfr.UUCP> Is it possible? I have been playing around with the "n" flag to exclude the "From " line, but it didn't help, because /bin/mail put it right back. It appears that mail to the gateway machine has the correct From line and the Return-path, but when the external mail got forwarded to the local SUN machine, it seems to mess up the From line. Also, does anybody know which rulesets control the address of the cc: line? Our gateway machine is running 5.61++/IDA patches. Its FQDN is xlnvax.excelan.com. My local machine is a SUN 4/280 (SUN OS 4.0.1 running Sun sendmail SMI-4.0). Thanks in advance, Tony Tran tran@excelan.com
