That's exim putting it in - your local account is sandip, and you've told exim that the hostname is escortsmumbai.com, so it puts your user name in front of the hostname on messages, and sends it off that way. The From: (with the colon) is the only thing most people see, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. The only way I can think of changing it would be to change accounts to deshmukh. IIRC, exim needs that information, so that if you get a bounce, it can redirect to the right local account. Steve -- He who laughs last didn't get the joke.
