emails arrive with "hostname" in email address

[Stuart Abramson_2]

I recently rebuilt my sendmail.cf from /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf.

I used "gen_cf" and selected "relay_entire_domain".

I changed:

# my official domain name
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

To:

Dj$w.wabtec.com

And Uncommented:

#R$* < @ $* > $* $: $>check_local <$m> $1 < @ $2 > $3 Local Domain?:

Now all of my emails are being sent as:

name@hostname.wabtec.com

I don't want the "hostname" to show up in my email address. I just want:

name@wabtec.com

How do I fix that?

Your setup has made this happen.

You can get around this by commenting out the Dj directive and using fully qualified domain name as your host name.

server in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf becomes

server.wabtec.com

Then emails will be from server.wabtec.com

Alternatively, change the Dj directive to what you want in your message.

Of course after any change...

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

I figured it out.

You just set:

DMdomain.com

And it "site hides". "Site Hiding" is really "server hiding".
