Popclient works great. However, when I send mail from the command line, the return address is listed (as I understand it should) as the hostname I configured under sysconfig. This is a fabricated hostname and my ISP won't recognize it. Hence the mail I send cannot be properly responded to by my recipients. So my question is, can I configure sendmail in some way that it always lists the response address of all the mail from all my users as "metcalf@snet.net" rather than "jeff@dane.snet.net" or "sonya@dane.snet.net", etc.? Any help is greatly appreciated. JM -- Sonya and Jeffrey Metcalf metcalf@*snet.net (remove * for e-mail replies) http://ruddles.stat.uconn.edu/~jeff
