Raymond Fagnon:

In reply to your sendmail question: here is what works
for me.

Go to ruleset S11 (the sender rewrite rules) and change
the rule

R$=D $@$1<@$w> tack on my hostname

to

R$=D $@$1<@$m>

and then change the rule

R$+ $@$1<@$k> tack on my mbox hostname

to

R$+ $@$1<@$m>

All you are doing here is changing the rewrite rules to use $m
in place of $w and $k. This should change your from lines in
outgoing mail to user@domain.
