Hello everyone,

Yes, I'm running Linux again (many thanks to Dylan) but I've hit a snag.
Attentive readers will have probably worked out that my email address is
not kellyh@: yes, sendmail.  

I installed a couple of nights ago, but have spent all yesterday and a
bit today trying to get my address right.

I have put an entry in /etc/mail/genericstable that reads:
kellyh		kellyh at clara.co.uk

and then run 
makemap hash /etc/mail/genericstable < /etc/mail/genericstable 

I have chosen just about every combination that YaST will give me in the
sendmail options.  

At the moment I have:
FQHOSTNAME			linux.local
FROM_HEADER			clara.co.uk
SENDMAIL_DIALUP			yes
SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE		yes
SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN
SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST		clara.co.uk
SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY		yes
SENDMAIL_NODNS			no
SENDMAIL_RELAY
SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST		relay.clara.net
SENDMAIL_TYPE			yes
SETUPDUMMYDEV			yes
SMTP				yes

Like I say I've tried lots and lots of different combinations - but all
I get is kellyh@ also SuSE had an article on their website telling me
all I had to do was edit /etc/mail/genericstable, and then makemap...

What am I missing?

Thanks

Harvey
