- I am using smail 3.1 PL 19 at a client and they are part of a registered
- domain.
-
- The machine is known in the domain as pgs.sony.com. The actual machine
- name is pgsn1.
-
- When I send mail, the outgoing address is generated as
- markd@pgsn1.sony.com
-
- When people try to reply to this address, it bounces since the domain
- machine does not know pgsn1.sony.com but wants to see pgs.sony.com.
-
- Can anyone help me figure out how to set VISIBLE_NAME, HOSTNAMES, and
- GATEWAY_NAMES in the smail conf/EDITME file to get my address to come
- out pgs.sony.com? (or is there something else I have to set?)
-
- Here is a typical header that I get (X and tab inserted so as to not
- confuse anything carrying this message):
-
- X Return-Path: <pgsn1!markd>
- X Received: by sonyusa.Sony.COM (4.0/SMI-4.0)

-
- I have set:
- #define VISIBLE_NAME pgs.sony.com
-
- Thanks, mark
