=>I just moved from my older dying box to new hardware. After the migration, I

=>It turns out that my MUA (pine) was set to have a From field set to
=>steveo at saturn.syslang.net but that if I changed it to steveo at syslang.net it
=>worked just dandy.  Does anyone have a clew what this is all about? I did
=>google the problem up and other people have had the problem but none had
=>solved (or posted) it.

Hi. I zoomed in further on what my problem is but I have no idea how to
fix it. I placed a copy of my sendmail.mc at

http://steveo.syslang.net/sendmail.mc

The problem is that masquerading is not happening on a send. If I send to
foo then sendmail expands it to go to foo at saturn.syslang.net instead of
sending to foo at syslang.net

If I send *from* steveo, then steveo (by default) is sending from
steveo at saturn.syslang.net instead of from steveo at syslang.net

Does anyone have an idea for how I can fix this?
