Thanks, that's what I suspected, but my effort to straighten it out
have not worked. That is, when I run the domainname command as root or
user, I get the correct domain name, and this is what appears in the
From: in in my sendmail headers. While it is useful to know that
sendmail is issuing the warning, I don't understand how it can arise
if my system domain name is the same as the domain name sent in
messages.
