- Help we have mail problems
-
- Symtom:
- I send mail to outside world.
- Outside world trys to reply to message (elm 'r' command) and get
- and error because host unknown.
-
- The problem seems to be in the From: field of hte outbound message, it
- says "From: ourdomainsname "
-
- Our domainsname is differenrt from our domainname, how do I tell sendmail.cf
- that it should use our true Internet name, not our dommain name?
