Two things about sendmail have come up...

The first has to do with changing the sendmail.cf file and changing it
to write the senders address from whoever@localhost.domain.name to
whoever@domain.name.  I've flipped through the big sendmail book, but
haven't found an answer.

Also, when sendmail is run with the "-f" option, I get a message in
/var/log/messages:

Dec 16 23:39:48 wooster sendmail[357]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(eblood):
queuename: Cannot create "qfXAA00357" in "/var/spool/mqueue"
(euid=1000): Permission denied

A quick fix was to allow everyone write permission in the mqueue
directory.  What is the real fix?  BTW, this comes about within the
mail facilities in xemacs.

Thanks.
