Thanks Ted, - I should have read more carefully.

Well that sort of works - cron jobs get sent from root at hamcoll.sa.edu.au 
except for the periodic jobs, which are still sent from 
root@<hostname>.hamcoll.sa.edu.au. Perhaps periodic sends the emails itself 
instead of cron, though looking at it's source I can't see how.

Also, I still need to adjust my sendmail config on the server that is our 
local smtp server. It seems to be putting the hostname back in cron's emails.

Cheers,
