Very Computer

I have a sparc classic with solaris 2.1.
When I "post" or send mail my from address comes up with
"NoSubdomain.NoDomain"

I am running NIS.
I believe the problem might be in my send mail file but I'm not
sure what needs to be changed.
I have the from statement set up in my Xdefaults file and in my sendmail.cf
file I have the "Dm " statement set up properly.

Any advise would be helpful!

Have a look at the beginning of the sendmail.cf file.  Under #my official hostname
what do you have?  We had problems with domain names etc and under
the official version Dj$w.$m we had to hack a bit.  It now reads

# my official hostname
Dw$m
Djindurain.$w

We kept getting errors from our main mail server stating it could not find
our domain.  Type domainname.  It is unset on our machine.

Have you tried the test version of sendmail:use /usr/lib/sendmail -bt and you will
receive a prompt.  Then type a zero followed by a name.  Eg. try 0 mark and
it will tell you of the rulesets it is using and it should finish with
'rewrite: ruleset 0 returns: $# "local" $: "mark".

Have you set the m class with Cm?  Are you running a subsidiary server or
a main relay?
