There are always users that need to be "exposed" -- that is, their internal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade name. Root is an example (which has been "exposed" by default prior to 8.10). You can add users to this list using EXPOSED_USER(`usernames') See /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > 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 See the section of the postfix main.cf titled "ADDRESS REWRITING".

Prior to switching MTA's, did you run "system-switch-mail" (FC2)??

If you don't run the [redhat/system]-switch-mail script prior to starting either postfix or sendmail (which ever MTA you want to run), then /etc/alternatives will not be updated. Thus, your friends comment (for the most part) is true. Postfix supplies a sendmail compatible submission binary that is linked in /etc/alternatives. i.e. either /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix. There are other links that are also created like mailq, newaliases, etc when you run *-switch-mail. > > BUT I wonder what he said is true or not now.

BTW: Why in the world would you NOT want to list root as an exposed user?
