- central admin people is as follows but I cannot see how to do it within the
- sendmail.cf created on the Indigos. Could someone with more experience of

- each machine, as follows. I've included extra lines for context and you may
- find that your existing line doesn't exactly match the example I have given;

- Your return address will then be, for example,
-
- "user%indigo.materials@oxford.ac.uk"
-
- and you you will be able to send and receive JANET mail on each machine.
