Same here. I'm marko@localhost but the From: line needs to read
markov@globalnet.co.uk.

If you look at http://www.freebsdzine.org there was an in depth
article about e-mail a couple of months ago. It included how to
set up sendmail using m4. I just followed the instructions an it
worked.

I use mutt as my mailer and have this in my .muttrc file:

my_hdr From: Mark Ovens <markov@globalnet.co.uk>

Since sendmail is now setup to masquerade as globalnet.co.uk it
leaves the user name alone.
