Problems sending mail using dtmail in Solaris 2.6

Hello:

   When I send e-mail with dtmail my address appears  to the receiver like:
user@machine.domainname
   What I need is that it appears like:
user@domainname
   When I use the mailtool of OpenWindows or the command line "mail" command, I get the desired result (meaning that my sendmail.cf is correct, or at least is what I think). If I use dtmail it adds the name of my machine.

  Suggestions any one?

You were partially right, I noticed that after setting this field a new variable was set in the .mailrc file. After playing with it for a while I found that this variable should be set as follows:

set smtpmailserver=localhost

for this to work your sendmail.cf should be properly configured, I didin't try assigning a mailhost somewhere else, but most probably it should work.

  It looks like this dtmail does not use sendmail unless this field is set....
