Want to Hide hosts names

From: <ltun_at_npcc.org>

Can anyone tell me how to hide the host names in the "from" address. My problem
is when I send mail out from one of the NONhost machine some people have trouble
replying using the "reply" feature. Eg. the from address would be
"mkuras_at_VENUS.npcc.org" instead of just "mkuras_at_npcc.org".

The small network with three workstations looks like:


                |-------|
                | | neptune (HOST)
                |-------|
                    |
                    |
                    |
        |-----------------------|---------.......
        | |
        | |
   |---------|
   | | Clients (venus,jupiter, etc.)
   |---------|
                
I am running the BIND server on neptune, and clients on the other machines. The "aliases" file in /usr/adm/sendmail/aliases
looks like:

lin:ltun_at_neptune
mkuras:mkuras_at_VENUS
jhaahr:jhaahr_at_jupiter

and "hosts" in /etc/namedb/src/hosts looks like:

lin:ltun_at_neptune
mkuras:mkuras_at_VENUS
jhaahr:jhaahr_at_jupiter

Thanks in advance for all the help.
