| I'm having a hell of a time with send-pr.
| 
| Sendmail on my system insists on using the entire hostname in the from part 
| of the
| smtp communication: i.e. wmoran at machinename.potentialtech.com.  This is a 
| problem
| because this particular machine doesn't have a real DNS name, so the 
| FreeBSD mail
| servers bounce the email.
| 
| I've tried creating a local-host-names file in /etc/mail according to some 
| Linux
| howtos I found, but it doesn't seem to be helping.  What's the proper way to
| get sendmail to use user at domain.com instead of user at machine.domain.com?
