You might want to look at domain masquerading.  This should do what you
want.  My home machine is red.ki5zw.ampr.org and all out-bound mail is sent
and received as ki5zw.ampr.org.  I can help with an m4 macro file if you
wish.

Frank -
I am sending to my local names okay now, and my outgoing mail is going out
too, but it contains an incorrect "from" address. If you will notice it
says "hudson.mhonline.net" and ought to say only "mhonline.net". The name
"hudson" is what I specified as my hostname when I ran netconfig, and
"mhonline.net" is what I specified as the domain name That happens to be
what my ISP uses as its domain. But adding the "hudson" creates an illegal
return address... I used to have pine create the proper outgoing address,
but if I put that back in it screws up my local deliveries. Catch 22. I
have to ask sendmail to ignore the "hudson" part of
"hudson.mhonline.net". Any idea how to do that?
