i'm pretty sure that setting the hostname doesn't attempt to change the envelope sender unless you specify 'set envelope_from'. sendmail only usually complains if you try to fake the envelope sender (and in most cases it will work, but add an 'X-Authentication-Warning' or something similar. the 'From:' header is just part of the mail itself, so unless your admins have done something particularly strict, there shouldn't be a problem with changing it.... what does your 'Return-Path' header look like? the list rewrites it with its own, so i can't see it on this message. > I don't want my_host_name and use "set hostname" to replace it with > email.uc.edu.
