I'm having problems getting sendmail to run correctly on some 3B2s. Everytime
I run mailx, the list of headers shows the name in the 'From ' line, not the
name in the 'From: ' line.
For instance, the following message header (forwarded from vtopus):
-------------
>From leahymr Mon Oct 17 13:45 EDT 1988
Received: from vtopus.cs.vt.edu (vtopus.cs.vt.edu.ARPA) by vtrtsl.cs.vt.edu

shows up in the list of message headers as:
mailx version 3.1 Type ? for help.
"/usr/mail/leahymr": 2 messages

2 leahymr Wed Nov 2 20:57 129/7145 AT&T PCs are bad for your
Replies go to 'leahymr' instead of the sender.
Our machine is a 3B2/400 running Sys V Rel 3.1. We are running WIN/3B TCP/IP,
Release 2.1.
If I messed up the sendmail.cf file, I don't know how to fix it. Or is it a
problem with sendmail itself?
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
