Someone wrote about this a while ago, and I finally found the problem. if /etc/hosts has an entry for the local machine, i.e. 192.168.1.1 workstation.int.mydomain.tld then no matter what you put in /etc/nullmailer/me, mail will always appear to come from @workstation.int.mydomain.tld. This contradicts what the documentation indicates in http://untroubled.org/nullmailer/HOWTO It would be best if nullmailer did not consult /etc/hosts if /etc/nullmailer/me exists and has meaningful content. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
