I have inherited a SYS Admin position over a HP server running HPUX.
The problem I'm having is when using the mailx command to email a file
from the HPUX server to my office PC currrently running Windows Vista,
I get the email OK but the FROM address in the email shows a old email
address. Example
mailx jeff.smith@def.aaa.gov < rr   (Where rr is a ascii file.  I get
the email OK but the from address shows jeff.rowland.abc.aaa.gov

abc.aaa.gov was a old address subsequently updated to def.aaa.gov.
Can't figure out where its picking up the old address. Any
sugggestions where to look?

Have a look through /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
It is cryptic but there is probably an entry containing "abc.aaa.gov".
This sets the senders host address.

And possibly for the DM macro for masquerade.
