Here's the deal:

I'm using FreeBSD 4.1.1, with the default sendmail install. I've got cable
access with videotron.ca. My machine's name is dimmu, and since the IP is
assigned via DHCP, FreeBSD automatically added videotron.ca at the end of
the machine name. Hence, my machine's "unofficial" name is
dimmu.videotron.ca. When I fetch my mail with fetchmail (which is addressed
to kint@videotron.ca), sendmail automatically discards it since it is not
addressed to the local host (dimmu.videotron.ca).

How can I correct this ?

Also, how can I *easily* rewrite headers OR create an aliase of some kind so
my mail shows up as from kint@videotron.ca instead of
kint@dimmu.videotron.ca ? 

Thanks,

kint
