Re: [cobalt-developers] Hostname in Recipient's email?

[Herb Rubin <herbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rod,

This is a sendmail.cf config file issue. Its called masquerading. Look
in the file

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf   or
/etc/sendmail.cf

for the line that starts:

DM

and try changing it to:

DMxxx.com

then restart the sendmail daemon.

ps -ef | grep sendmail

root    580    1 0 Oct30 ?     00:00:00 sendmail: accepting connections

kill -HUP 580
