Hello,

I am trying to clean up header generated when sending email on a Fedora2 test box. Namely there is one reference to localhost and one reference to 127.0.0.1, both of which I'd like to clean up. I am including the following 2 snippets, pertinent portion of sendmail.mc and the headers generated when sending the email using either BSD Mail, or sendmail itself from the command line.

localhost is in transaction 1, 127.0.0.1 is in transaction 2.

I'm thinking this is a no-brainer for someone better with sendmail then I. $50 for first answer that corrects the problem.

What is the hostname of your testbox? Sendmail uses that to show where the mail originated. Usually this is in the form of hostname.network.
