Hack /etc/sendmail.cf. Probably want to have a try at ``masquerade''. Don't forget to make sure your box also understands ``visfx.com'' is also its name (besides ``firewal.visfx.com''). I *believe* for this version of send mail you want to add to the ``Cw'' class list. Sorry, more famailar with SunOS's sendmail.cf setup. But maybe this is enough to get you started. If you do much of this, you really do want the O'Reilley Sendmail (aka Bat book) book. -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
