As a quick and dirty hack, you can set this by tacking the hostname on to the end of the DS line in /etc/sendmail.cf. For example: DSsmtp.myisp.com You may also want sendmail to masquerade so that outbound mail goes out with the "correct" domain name. Personally, I think that's a hack and your MUA should take responsibility for creating a reasonable From field. If you disagree with me, you can do something like this: # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) DMmyisp.com Ciao, Sheldon.
