wezel@balaena.bio.vu.nl (Jos van Wezel) (09/27/89)
When using a domainname on a Sun 4.0 the first part of the domain is cut off by sendmail unless it is preceded by a plus sign (+). (can be a dot too I believe). So the domain "bio.vu.nl" is rewritten to "vu.nl", but since I've set the name to "+bio.vu.nl" the From headers appear like the one above. However it's very annoying to have a 'domainname' call return something stupid like "+bio.vu.nl". I want to change this to just "bio.vu.nl". Now for the question, does anyone know why this was put into the rewriting rules, and when I tear it out will it harm anything else in the mail delivery system. Is it common in other mail configuration files? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jos van Wezel ---
