Sorry for another newbie question.

Every user I add gets an email address of user@host.domain instead of only
user@domain . What have I done wrong?

Nothing. This is the correct behaviour of the default sendmail install,
using the default sendmail .mc file(s). There may be alternate setups
precompiled for you in /usr/share/sendmail.

Check the Sendmail docs, which I think are locally available in
/usr/share/doc, but I just visited sendmail.org. The answer to your
exact question is in the Sendmail FAQ there.

I just switched to Postfix, which made this dead easy to configure.

Thanks, I will check that FAQ (which I of course should have done before I
asked...)

Mail-domain includes hostname. How remove?
