[comp.sys.next] sendmail.cf

mccalpin@masig3.ocean.fsu.edu (John D. McCalpin) (09/21/89)

The mailer on my NeXT does something funny to the Return-Path:
line in SMTP mail.  For no reason that I can determine, it is
stripping off the machine name, and just leaving the user name, i.e.
	Return-Path: <mccalpin>
rather than
	Return-Path: <mccalpin@masig3.ocean.fsu.edu>

This makes it very difficult to reply to mail messages that I send out!

The sendmail.cf file that I am using looks OK, and works fine on 
all of my other machines (Silicon Graphics workstations).  It appears
to be functionally identical to the sendmail.cf the Sun's here too.

Is this a malady that anyone recognizes?

Here are the relevant pieces (I think) of my sendmail.cf file:
