I did, it doesn't work. here's part of /etc/sysconfig/network:
HOSTNAME="hal9k"

Either way, it only calls itself hal9k.

Nope. I don't think so. I called it hal9k.org earlier (hostname), now i
want it to be hal9k.
My problem really is that once i submitted something by a form (the form
runs on my machine, but now I've uploaded it to its final resting place
(in fact, the mumbai bus guide mentioned in the sig)) and the from:
address is a server on the net somewhere, and it says sender domain must
resolve. The from: was [EMAIL PROTECTED], to: was [EMAIL PROTECTED],
(both addresses would have forwarded the mail to me anyway, since the foo
is my domain), and foo.com complains that sender domain must resolve,
since envelope sender was [EMAIL PROTECTED] and hal9k.orgapparently doesn't
exist on the net.
So how do I tell sendmail to rewrite the envelope sender to be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, but it's from 2001: HAL9000 the computer.
