:Personally, I find that just adding a 'Reply-To' line to my ISP
:address works just fine. However, look for 'masquerading' in the
:sendmail documentation to see how to "fake" a domain name. As for
:changing the username... I've never felt the need to do it.

You want sendmail to do what is called "Masquerading".
When masquerading is properly configured it will rewrite the "From:"
address to the domain you specify on every piece of outgoing mail.
I originally tried just editing the sendmail.cf file to this:
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMnewdomain.com
But that didn't work. Finally, I switched to /usr/src/etc/sendmail and
rebuilt the sendmail.cf file by adding a few macros. Specifically, I
added these:
masquerade_entire_envelope #
masquerade_entire_domain # these two perform the masquerading
relay_entire_domain # this tells sendmail 8.9.X to accept
# and relay mail for my entire domain
# which covers all 5 machines in my
# apartment.
# (This machine is also a mail router
# of sorts)
More information is available at http://www.sendmail.org/, read the
FAQ and the information on configuring sendmail.
Additionally, I just learned about this one. You can use procmail to
rewrite mail headers on their way out as well. I'm failry new to
procmail so I won't attempt to explain that one. :)
Good luck,
Jim
