sorry me again. I just found that david@xxxxxxx source address that I had successfully used was not taken from my postfix conf as it was defined as cba.com in /etc/postfix/main.cf but my sendmail.mf file is defined as MASQUERADE_AS(`abc.com'). I am getting confused again. What is command to use sendmail to send mail and what is that for postfix? When I type mail -s "subject" david@xxxxxxxxx < /file , I am using postfix or sendmail?? I thought the sendmail command is sendmail instead of mail ?? jim martin <postfix168@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Well, I changed my sendmail.mf file's MASQUERADE_AS(`abc.com')dnl, abc.com is the source domain that I want to be. but it still shown as root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In fact, I did install postfix before and configured the /etc/postfix/main.cf 's myorigin=abc.com but it still shown as root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And my friend told me that it is because my postfix is taken over by sendmail. So I stop my sendmail.. and restart the postfix.. postfix start fine.. but I still cannot send mail via postfix as the source address that define in main.cf "myorigin=abc.com" when I am using root. what my friend told me was it is because, I am still using Sendmail, namely because sendmail(1) is the Sendmail MTA and not Postfix' sendmail binary. BUT I wonder what he said is true or not now. As later I tried to start both sendmail and postfix and using the postfix command (mail -s "subject" david@xxxxxxxxx < /file using other user account for example david instead of root. It does show the source address as david@xxxxxxxx But I wonder it doesn't apply to root.

And I found that my source email address is always root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mylinux is my hostname and mycompany is my company domain name. but how can change my source email address to root@xxxxxxx or myname@xxxxxxx?? where is the setting??? Is that in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ?
