tried it : just the same.
Well, I guess I have to find somebody who really understand what sendmail is doing.
I read the file I was pointed to , did what they say to no avail. The funny thing is
they claim
it became a very well known issue that they can describe very well.
I tried linuxconf, masquerade and also set some masquerade rules (to be sure !!!)
Nothing seems possible : sendmail insists on putting my machine name in front of
the domain name !!!!!
Now, I am in trouble as more and more people seem to implement anti-spamming system.
They will not receive spam from me, that is this only thing I am sure about !
thanks to evryone who tried to help .
