What I'd like to do is have sendmail strip the "dolphin" part, leaving only "neosoft.com" as my domain in the header, or perhaps substitute "localhost" for "dolphin", without altering the From or Reply-to addresses (which are configured properly as "conrads@neosoft.com" in my mail, news, etc. progs). Is there a simple way to do this? -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads
