    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@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@domain.com instead of user@machine.domain.com?

    TIA
