[TriLUG] sendmail header question

[Turnpike Man]

My /etc/hosts is default, just has this line in it:
127.0.0.1       bertha          localhost.localdomain localhost
/etc/host.conf: order host,bind (should it be bind,host?)

If I "telnet bertha.mydomain.com 25" from my work computer I get this reposnse:

220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6; Fri, 28 Mar 2003
17:04:3
7 -0500

I used to get:

220 bertha.mydomain.com etc...

Now... per Jeremy, I didn't want to reboot, but I said heck with it and
rebooted... now from work I get:

220 bertha.turnpike420.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6; Fri, 28 Mar 2003
17:10:
16 -0500

which is what I had originally expected! ... and an email header is (and I
usually use TWIG, sometimes PINE):

---

with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.4905);

So now it seems all is fixed except for this line:
Received: from mydomain.com (bertha [127.0.0.1])

Now... what is really strange is this was all as you see it now until
recently... it must have been up2date of either sendmail or some other package
for RH 7.2 that did this to me.  I can't imagine it would have happened any
other way.  I know it worked before b/c I can remember being super thrilled and
running around the room that I had figured it out!!  8) *geekdom at its best*

Well, any thoughts on that last bit would be helpful!  Thanks Joseph and
Jeremy!
