Lately, I've started experiencing a problem with certain remote sites
refusing to accept my mail because my local hostname "dolphin.neosoft.com"
is unknown (I use dynamic PPP, so no DNS entry for this name actually
exists).

What I'd like to do is have sendmail strip the "dolphin" part, leaving
only "neosoft.com" as my domain in the header, or perhaps substitute
"localhost" for "dolphin", without altering the From or Reply-to addresses
(which are configured properly as "conrads@neosoft.com" in my mail, news,
etc. progs). 

Is there a simple way to do this?
