First, remove the Signature: line from your .mh_profile, and then either: 1) Copy /usr/local/lib/mh/componenets and /usr/local/lib/mh/replcomps to ~/Mail. In your personal copies of these files, add a line that looks like: From: David Kelly <dkelly@hiwaay.net> in the headers section, just above the line of dashes. This will cause mh to insert the From: header, which sendmail shouldn't touch. -or- 2) Modify /etc/sendmail.cf to make your machine masquerade as hiwaay.net. This is what I do; it works well, and is not mh specific. Here's the relevant part and what it should look like: # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M) DMhiwaay.net There are probably better ways to do this, but what the heck - it works for me! -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu
