I had so much trouble with sendmail I switched to EXIM. The help file gave explicit instructions for changing this. 10 minutes total.

I am using the default install of sendmail with my linux distribution (RH 7.2) It is sending out alerts as "hobbit at servername.domain.com. I am getting tired of explaining to every new person what Hobbit is (even though I really like showing them!) I would like to have the alerts go out as something like "system-alarms at servername.domain.com Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to change the name these alerts go out as?
Thanks
btw..I am not a sendmail wizardso simple is good.
Kevin
