I'm having problems getting sendmail to run correctly on some 3B2s.  Everytime
I run mailx, the list of headers shows the name in the 'From ' line, not the
name in the 'From: ' line.
 
For instance, the following message header (forwarded from vtopus):
-------------
>From leahymr Mon Oct 17 13:45 EDT 1988
Received: from vtopus.cs.vt.edu (vtopus.cs.vt.edu.ARPA) by vtrtsl.cs.vt.edu

shows up in the list of message headers as:
 
mailx version 3.1  Type ? for help.

Replies go to 'leahymr' instead of the sender.
 
Our machine is a 3B2/400 running Sys V Rel 3.1.  We are running WIN/3B TCP/IP,
Release 2.1.
 
If I messed up the sendmail.cf file, I don't know how to fix it.  Or is it a
problem with sendmail itself?
 
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
