It depends on how the virtual host name is defined. If it is a CNAME pointing to the actual host name then sendmail, and many other MTAs, will change the name to the actual host name in the envelope (and sometimes in the header) From address. If it is defined with an A record pointing to the same IP address as the other host name (or a virtual IP address of its own) then sendmail shouldn't be changing the From address.

I have the same problem, as well as many other people on this list. If someone has a simple answer, it should go in the FAQ. I did a lot of looking yesterday, but never found an answer. Surely _someone_ has figured this out... JvdW wrote: > I do have the domain in "Host name this list prefers".
