[comp.mail.mush] Problems with mush addresses??

gpitcher@edpmgt.UUCP (Glenn Pitcher) (03/28/91)

I recently installed Mush 7.2.0 (dated 10/31/90) at our site and I'm having 
one small problem.  When I send mail out through mush, my Internet address
is being formed incorrectly.  The addresses I get are in the following format:

gpitcher@edpmgt.edpmgt.cts.com.

The problem is, we're just edpmgt.cts.com.  It seems that Mush is for some 
reason prepending another edpmgt to my addresses.  Just to give some more
information, I'm using sendmail as my MTA on a Sun w/ SunOS 4.0.2.  Mail is
transported via UUCP using the smartuucp mailer (smartuucp allows you to use
internet addresses).  One last note... if I use the standard sun mail program,
I have no problems.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

Mush gets the hostnames from the gethostname() system call and uses
whichever one is first in the list returned.  You can override this
by using 'set hostname=edpmgt.cts.com", but you might want to look
into why gethostname() is returning what it is.
