Hi,
If I understand your problem correctly - some recipient servers are rejecting the email because they can't resolve the domain of the sender - then :-
I think the configuration option you want is "masquerade as"
and you may like to try setting it to the domain part of whatever address you would be using for email if you were using an ISP instead of your own server.
cheers
Graham

Hi All,
I am using sendmail via php mail function to send
emails. However few servers reject my mails with
the error 'Sender address rejected: Domain not
found', since mails from my server are sent as
email at localhost.localdomain. How do I change this
to a valid domain name ? We only own a public IP.
we dont really have a domain name, is it possible
to use IP ? 
Regards
Deepan
