The only issue is you have the x-sender thing as your long isp address. I
really kind of hate that about not running your own server on the domain,
as maybe I don't want everyone to know who my isp is off the email message.

Brent,
Please explain what the long x-sender string is and how I can get rid of
it. I don't see it on the messages that are returned to me.
Thanks.
John

Well, I don't know how to get rid of it without changing stuff in sendmail
to rewrite, but if I look up in the headers towards the top this is what it
says.
X-X-Sender:  <director@mawimain7-224.dsl.tds.net>

Mail header problems (was: Re: A Bunch of Questions)

[L. C. Robinson]

Well no one wants to see all the crap in the full headers, so
they are almost always turned off, unless there is some problem
with getting things through.  All kinds of virtual hosting and
masqing is so routine, that it doesn't even matter, really.  Your
ISP and the other mail relays are going to make sure that such
things are there anyway, and there's little you can do about it:
would you really want to have problems tracing the source of a
transport problem (and they do happen)?

Save yourself a lot of grief, and leave the mail header munging
stuff to the spammers.  You'll come to appreciate the extra info
with time, when it's needed.  Mostly, people will never notice,
unless you spam them.  If you do screw with the headers enough to
keep the spam filters from authenticating your stuff, you will
find various sites dropping and bouncing your mail.  Without such
filters the internet would quickly become unusable, with the
flood of trash.

So, is it possible to eliminate x-sender junk in your mail, if in fact you
run your own linux machine for you're domain and want no mention of any
other domain? Not everyone's mail has stuff like this in.
