Hi,
No takers first time....not a rush, but a nuisance.
I need to make all email, sent out thru cde mailer, to
have a fully qualified domain name regardless of
destination. (Currently if destination is same host,
it only sends the username in the FROM list)
Using pine works ok, ie. its sends the Fully Qualified
domain name, not just username.
_Thanks
Richard

confused as to where to check. Another interesting
