Sendmail not rewriting the domain of the sender. -Success-

The average workstation user shouldn't need to install sendmail-cf - the
defaults are just fine. However, if you need to change sendmail's
configuration, sendmail-cf is needed.
It's arguably safer without it installed by default, which is why I guess it
isn't.
Cheers,
Phil
