I posted this message on -questions already, but never did get a
response. I thought I might try this list instead (so I'm sorry if
it's a little off topic.)
I'm new to FreeBSD and i'm trying to set up my sendmail.cf file to work
with my ISP. I have a non dedicated connection and 2 pop3 accounts to
worry about for receiving mail. I am a college student and my current
main mailing address is n9842643@cc.wwu.edu, along with the secondary
address napalm@halcyon.com. I chose the arbitrary name
inferno.cc.wwu.edu for my machine name since the university ISP never
assigned me one.
>From the information I got from the FAQ and handbook, I am now able to
send mail out but every message header has the name "root@cc.wwu.edu"
instead of "n9842643@cc.wwu.edu" in the reply-to box. Furthermore, I
can only see my mail on my system if I am the user name of the mail I
am receiving (so I have to change from being root to being
n9842643 on my box every time to see my own mail.)
I attached a copy of my current sendmail.cf file. Is there anyone out
there that can tell me a way to just have everything on my system sent
to root, and for my outgoing mail user name to just be n9842643?
thanks,
-MC
