I see that I had MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(gayleard.com)dnl in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc on my laptop, that being the name of my home web-server. I guess I must have set this at some point, perhaps when I had ideas above my station. I've changed this to MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(eircom.net)dnl that being the name of my ISP. Hopefully this will assuage the spam thought-police. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
