Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, Well, I solved my problem with the "Sender" field of my email going out as "root@serv.net" (serv.net is my ISP, and I'm certainly not root there). What I did was set my hostname to "localhost" in rc.conf, and used the -alias switch when starting PPP, as so: ppp -alias -auto pmdemand That cleared up the problem, and now the "Sender" field is appearing as "root@localhost.net" which is much more acceptable. I wouldn't want anyone to mistake me for my ISP's sysadmin .
