I tried editing sendmail.cf and changing the Dj line to X.com so any email originating from my machine would be X.com not m.X.com where m is machine name.
I typed make in the /etc/mail directory and did service sendmail restart.
This did not work. email still shows as m.X.com
What am I missing so as to NOT have the machine name in the email address. I just want the domain.
Thanks,
Jerry

Do not edit your sendmail.cf file directory. Please use the .mc files to build a correct sendmail.cf.
google for sendmail.mc masquerade as.

Editing the .cf file is not the way to do this sort of thing. Ensure you have the sendmail-cf package installed and make your changes to the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and then type 'make' to build the new .cf. Then restart sendmail.
Incidentally, the .mc file has the necessary parameters in it that you may be looking for;
dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just the headers, but the envelope as well dnl # dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl dnl # dnl # masquerade not just @mydomainalias.com, but @*.mydomainalias.com as well dnl # dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl dnl # dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomainalias.com)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomain.lan)dnl
I changed all the above to my X.com domain removed the dnl's on the line did a make in the /etc/mail directory, did service sendmail restart and I still get m.X.com and not just X.com
What am I still missing something? Thanks,
Jerry

Did your send your test email as root? Either use a different login or comment out the EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl line and restart sendmail with 'service sendmail restart' (which will automatically rebuild sendmail.cf).
