Subject: Getting sendmail to recognize user-domain name in .pinerc

We share a DEC Alpha running OSF/1 with another agency which serves as
system administrator.  Sometime in the near future, we will have our own
separate system, so we have created an alias for our organization
library.ca.gov.  Anyone that addresses mail to us at library.ca.gov is
able to send mail to us.  That is also the user-domain that we have specified
in all our .pinerc files for each of our own users. 

However, the agency system administrator has configured sendmail so that
ALL external mail from the DEC Alpha has the agency's address as the 
domain; the entry in .pinerc is ignored.  He has informed me that he has 
been unable to find anyway to configure the system so that our outgoing 
messages will have our domain as library.ca.gov.  A system administrator 
at a nearby university says that he is sure there is a way, but doesn't 
deal with sendmail enough to know how to do it.

Any assistance would be appreciated - from confirming which information 
is correct, suggesting the appropriate manuals, or providing sample 
coding and where it should appear.
