[ x11r4 ATK + all current (9) patches. Built and running on a Sun 4c under SunOS 4.1.1.] Reading through the "setup" help file, I see: "Yes" specifies that, when a user sends a message from a workstation whose name is different from ThisDomain, the user will be identified as "userid@ThisDomain" in the "From: " line of the message. My /usr/andrew/etc/AndrewSetup file has: ThisDomain: concave ThisDomainSuffix: convex.com AMS_UseWP: no AMS_NonAMSDelivery: yes AMS_LocalMailSystemExists: yes AMS_WSRunsQueuemail: no AMS_ThisDomainAuthFromWS: yes My machine is "lovecraft", and concave is the machine that I'd like to have show up in my mail headers, since that's where my home directory lives. Mail delivery is with normal sendmail, and I have a company-wide alias of the traditional sort of "datri@concave" for "datri". Yet, mail that I send from Messages goes out with From: "Anthony A. Datri" <datri@lovecraft> in the headers. What's going on? Shouldn't it be "datri@concave"? I've only recently seen this because I used to have lovecraft's sendmail.cf use Sun's "OR" feature to do this at the MTA level. I have an unrelated need now for a pseudo-user on lovecraft to receive mail locally, though, so I had to remove the OR business. -- -- datri@convex.com

I think the problem is that your ThisDomain: is set to ``concave'' and not to ``concave.convex.com''. The ThisDomainSuffix variable is meant to be appended to the workstation name as returned by gethostname(), but not to the explicitly-given value of ThisDomain. Does this help? Craig
