Sendmail sending as host.domain.com, i want it to be from just domain.com.
currently mail is being sent like this "user@host.domain.com" i want it to go out from just the domain like this "user@domain.com" how do i make sendmail do this?
Thanks for your reply. I tried what you mentioned, however, if I just have the domain in there and leave off the hostname, no mail is sent out at all.... Instead I've removed everything from /etc/mail/local-host-names and it's a bit better.
I've also edited the /etc/hosts file so that it's
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx myhostname mydomainname.com
I had some other garbage in there that was mucking things up. It's still not working properly, but that's not the sendmail problem on my box, it's a problem with the relay it's going through.
