If using sendmail, you just have to add the following lines in your /etc/
genericstable:
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<your username>: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
news: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then just compile it (to create a new genericstable.db:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -oA/etc/genericstable
And restart sendmail :
kill `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -os
Then if you're lucky, the From field shouldn't be needed anymore :)
