Note that there's a difference between "From:" and "From " (the
envelope-From). Most likely, your isp like mine rejects everything
with an envelope-from that differs from what you've been given as mail
address by your isp. In smail, cou can add a line with your local
logname as trusted user. Then move your sendmail executable away
(rename it to sendmail_ for example) and make a fmall script in the
place of sendmail, that calls sendmail_ -fuser@host.isp.domain
works nicely for me.
kind regards,
