We recently upgraded from OSF 3.0 to DU 3.2c, and are now seeing
strangeness with the UNIX style From line (first line in the message
after delivery). On local delivery and delivery from some systems, it
looks like:
From SomeRealUsername
where SomeRealUsername has real significance relating to the sender
of the message. However on some email the line looks like:
From daemon
I have not been able to change it, even when I installed sendmail 8.7.1,
which leads me to believe that the problem may not be with sendmail at
all, but rather with the local delivery agent, /bin/mail. Has anyone
see this phenomemon? It does not matter what I put in the sendmail.cf
file, I cannot get the "daemon" to change.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
