I have modify the line in sendmail.cf as the following DSserver.keck.lmu.edu The server.keck.lmu.edu is the server machine of the network. But it does not seems to work. Could you please tell me what this entry mean and what might be the problem. Also, I have one entry in the sendmail.cf is modified so replied mails will be send to the server. The line is # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) DMserver.keck.lmu.edu I am wondering if this will have any problem with what you have just tell me to do. Yao-Wen Stephen Tsai 8/17/95
