Pardon me if this is OT, but it is probably an easy question for many on
this list.

The problem:
Host on my Internal network sends out formmail replies as FROM
"www.thehost.com"

QUESTION:
How can I make it show the replies as being from the sender -- my web forms
provide for picking up the "From" field.

If I test this on my gateway/router machine, it inserts the right FROM info
as "sender@somewhere.net" instead of the "www".

Is there some setting in Sendmail that will make that machine (aliased on
the LAN) over-ride the "www" and use the proper "From" field of the
sender...???

Appreiate any help on this as I need the proper "From" so that the
auto-responder can send out automatic replies to the customer.

Best regards,
Jack L. Stone,
