It's Saturday at 9pm and still have 1 more problem with sendmail before I go
home, all the users except root , are using the right masquerade domain,
root still shows the hostname.domain.net , so when I run the mail command
from the shell, any email from root shows as received from root, but all the
other users are shown with the full email address (i.e.. user@domain.net)
and they are local and should be just the login name. Does root has a
special setting under sendmail ? Is the mail binary not using the masquerade
domain as the local domain to show the from column the way I want ?

Thanks
