|  What is your MTA ? You  need  to  rewrite your aliases

Mine MTA is sendmail.

|  of /etc/mail/aliases file:
|
|  # trap decode to catch security attacks
|  decode:              root
|  bish:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|  hsrai:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What I find is that this is not happening. If hsrai ( as in
example above ) send mail to bish, it goes to his vsnl
account. But when Bish send mail it goes as sender
bish@my_pc_name_domain , inspite of having any thing in
"From:" field.

Here is the screenshot, which shows rejection of mail:
