- I got quite a few responses to my previous post about smail 3.1's
- visible_name, et. al. and how to get my outgoing mail such that its
- computed return address would be correct.
-
- I've had no luck fixing the problem though. Here is a header generated
- by smail 3.1.19 (X and tab added) :
-
- X From pgsn1!markd Thu Sep 10 19:51:06 1992
- X Return-Path: <pgsn1!markd>
- X Received: from pgsn1 by silogic.uucp with uucp

- I seem to need to get this From line ---------- to reflect our
- domain name, pgs.sony.com, in order for mail coming in to me to actually
- get to my machine. My machine name is pgsn1 and no matter what I do, I
- can't get this From line to come up <markd@pgs.sony.com>.
-
- My config file has ended up as :
-
- visible_name=pgs.sony.com
- visible_domains=pgs.sony.com
- hostnames=pgs.sony.com:pgsn1.sony.com:pgsn1:pgs
- more_hostnames=pgs.sony.com
-
- Thanks again for the help so far, but can anyone get me over the final
- hurdle?
