smailconfig should take care of this, if you answer the questions
right :)

If you haven't changed anything by hand under /etc/smail, try running
smailconfig --force.  It will ask you what type of mail system you
havem, you want to answer 3 for sattelite.  Then it will ask what the
system name should be on outgoing mail, type cistron.nl. Finally, it
asks you what machine to send outgoing mail to. Here, type in the name
of your mailhost.  Everything should work nicely, then.

If you've customized other things under smail, you want to edit
/etc/smail/config and add visible_name=cistron.nl.  For more
details, do a man 5 smail.

 When I send mail to someone and they want to reply, they are replying
 to graeve ( which was ok if it was local ) but it should be
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 How do I achieve this ?

This question has been answered recently by me, but here it is again.
Check out the elmalias manpage, or read /usr/doc/elm/Alias.fmtd.gz
This should give you what you need.

Luck,

Dwarf
