I'm having a problem with the address generated when someone tries to reply to a mail message. I'm running Unix V 3.2.2 with Wollongong TCP/IP 3.01 on an AT&T 3B2/700. The mail program is 'mailx.' When a user receives a message using mailx (which I think is basically the mail program from BSD Unix) and tries to reply, the message is always sent back to root. This is because the 'From:' line lists the sender as root. I think the problem is in the sendmail.cf config file, but I have not been able to remedy it. I would appreciate mail responses to this problem. Thanks. +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mark Measures | "I don't know what the program- | | Univ. of Texas at Arlington | ming language of the year 2000 | | Arlington, TX | will look like, but it will be | | measures@evax.arl.utexas.edu | called Fortran." - Dijkstra | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+

This problem only occurs when using mailx with TCP/IP.
