What did Postfix log about that? "didn't work" is not very helpful. (^-^)
The logs show exactly what happened.

Here are two commands and all the log entries that result from them. Note that I used a comcast address instead of an acm.org address as the sender the second time. It did not help.


suillus:~ # sendmail -F [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ok, again
.
suillus:~ # sendmail -F [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
test it once more.

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here's your problem.

From "man sendmail":

  -F full_name
         Set the sender full name. This overrides  the  NAME  environment
         variable, and is used only with messages that have no From: mesâ
         sage header.

  -f sender
         Set the envelope sender  address.  This  is  the  address  where
         delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1,
         the  Errors-To:  message  header  overrides  the  error   return
         address.

You need to set the envelope address.

sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
