Sendmail query ( the senders name)

[raiden]

Hi am using mutt to send mails. But when the mail is sent the receivers receives it as username@hostname.xyz.com

Now I dont want the hostname to be displayed , I want it to be like
username@xyz.com.

Which file needs to be modified so that receiver receives the mail in that format?? I mean he should see the sender name as username@xyz.com

Sorry for typo due to copy-paste (why this happening here ? I do not know ??)

Hi

echo test |mailx -s "Subject whatever you write.." -r "from address" "to address"

And besids, mailx uses sendmail.

You need to masquerade with the DM macro in sendmail.cf.
