Hi,

I'm having a few problems with my sendmail. I'm using 8.6.12, which came with
the last SNAP110495.

I want all email addresses to be <name.surname@domain.net>, so I changed my
aliases file,  added userdatabase and mailname/maildrop entries and made a few
changes to my sendmal.cf to enable masquerading.

Everything worked just fine... Sendmail was changing addresses from the usual
<username@machine>  form to <name.surname@doman.net> when sending or receiving
messages, except when I was sending the mail using Netscape mail program. 

Can anybody please help? Should I change sendmail with another mailer or is
there somtehing I can do to solve the problem?

TNX.
