Therein probably lies the problem. Linux sendmail is by default configured
to send all mail from user 'root' as being from user 'root', no matter how
you try to override that. Create a user named 'zokiphoto' and send your
EMAIL from that.
To get the right domain name, edit the file /etc/sendmail.cf so that it
has this line in it:
Dmagic.fr
That will tell sendmail that your default domain is really magic.fr, not
brasilia.magic.fr. Then under your Netscape Preferences, tell it that your
SMTP server is "localhost". Presto, everything is sent out as
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"!
It's possible to do a lot more hacking to Sendmail's config files to set
up mappings (e.g. everything send by "foo@bar" gets transmitted as being
sent by "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). See http://www.sendmail.org for more info.
Sendmail really is a neat program, even if it does take a PhD to decipher
it sometimes!

a) Don't log in as root to send mail,
b) set your SMTP host to be 'localhost',
c) set your domain in your sendmail.cf to be magic.fr.
