Sendmail.cf for Sun Sparc 2
===========================

I am trying to setup mail for my new Sun Sparcstation 2.
I am running NIS to obtain domain name services.  I am also
running OpenWindows 2.

I tried to modifiy sun supplied sendmail.main.cf and also sendmail files
from Brian Kennedy (Sun Sparc 1+ no DNS, no NIS) and 
Viji M. (Sun 3, no DNS, no NIS).  All of them gave me the same problem.
The mail received at the remote computer had 
'From wathu at lanka' not wathu at lanka.ccit.arizona.edu as expected.

I am enclosing a sample header here

	From wathu at lanka Wed May 29 15:14:49 1991
	Received: from lanka.ccit.arizona.edu by convx1.ccit.arizona.edu with SMTP; Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:49 -0700
	From: wathu at lanka (Wije Wathugala)
	Return-Path: <wathu at lanka>
	Received: by lanka.ccit.arizona.edu; Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:20 MST
	Date: Wed, 29 May 91 15:14:20 MST
	Message-Id: <9105292214.AA00814 at lanka.ccit.arizona.edu>
	Apparently-To: wathu at convx1.ccit.arizona.edu
	Status: RO

	test

Could some one tell me how to fix this error.
(I could fix this for external mail by replacing $q by $q.$m in the
H?F?From: $q
line.  However this will mess local mail)

Thank you

Wije
