After much frustration, I deleted every .cf file in /etc/mail, and edited every .mc file to include the line: Define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `howse.no-ip.org') Then ran: # make cf # make install That still didn't work. I remembered that I use a Dynamic DNS service called noip.com to resolve my dynamic ip to 'howse.no-ip.org' on my Linux box, so I changed my hostname from 'larry' to 'larry.howse.no-ip.org'. That fixed it! Now, when I get mail from FBSD, it comes from root@howse.no-ip.org. Hoooray!
