Mutt from address and hostname
Mutt 1.2.3.1i
AIX 5.3.12.1
We need to send email to external addresses. But are having problems with the sent-from hostname. They're going out with @server.mycompany.com. We need them to be @mycompany.com.
I'm setting from and hostname with -e 'set from="From Address<from.address@mycompany.com>" hostname="mycompany.com"' to no avail.
How do we solve this?
TIA,
Lee Carlson

BUGS
None. Mutts have fleas, not bugs.
FLEAS
Suspend/resume while editing a file with an external editor does not work under SunOS 4.x if you use the curses lib in /usr/5lib. It does
work with the S-Lang library, however.
Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes Mutt to go haywire on some systems.
suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.
The help line for the index menu is not updated if you change the bindings for one of the functions listed while Mutt is running.
For a more up-to-date list of bugs, errm, fleas, please visit the mutt project's bug tracking system under http://bugs.guug.de/. To report
a bug, please use the flea(1) program.
