The domain is set in /etc/sendmail.cf, thus:

        Djcskk.homeip.net

Bear in mind that you need to have a _real_ domain to use this.  For
example, using your ISP's domain may cause trouble. If your system lets
any email out (i.e. from random-account@your-host) then the return path
will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if that's what you set). This
is probably a very bad thing. This is why I obtained my own domain
("cskk.homeip.net", above). That way the namespace for the local parts
is mine, and can't cause trouble fr my ISP or its users.
