(Yes, it has routedflags=-s) Disable routed. It does bad things to the ppp routing. > Another question: during the only successful connection, I mailed myself a > test message and it came back with the From: header set to "Charlie Root > <root@localhost.vol.it>". How do I set sendmail.cf (or whatever) to "My Real > Name <jlscanf@mbox.vol.it>" and the Reply To field as "jls@acm.org" ? You can't bother sendmail to do this, you have to modify your mail client. Pine can do this through the 'customized-headers' option. I have mine set to: Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu and that does the job. If you want to get your real name on the mail, write from your own account and not root's.
