I have sent mails both as root and as a normal user. And I've tried your
configuration, to no avail.

Ok, understood. I only copied what appeared in the RHEL 3.0 reference guide.
Maybe it's a typo.

Thanks, I've taken a look at that readme.

You're right.

Thanks a lot for your help (both of you). I've tried everything you have
told me, but still it doesn't work. However, I have managed to send mails
with the desired address without modifying the sendmail configuration. I
happened to put:

<the machine's ip> <the machine's name> <the alternate
domain>

in the /etc/hosts file, and now all outgoing emails have <user>@<the
alternate domain> in the from field, instead of <user>@<the machine's name>

I'm a bit puzzled, because the systems behaves as I desire, but I think it's
not properly configured. Any ideas?
