There are several ways, what might you want exactly ?
Does the PC send FQDN addresses ?
Then the MTA is likely saying: ( /etc/mail.conf )
# Who am I ?
hostname="hostname.domainname"
# What do I tell people ?
mydomain="hostname.domainname"
If the email originating from that system
can use "domainname", then just dropping the
"hostname." from the latter does it.
With my $MAILVAR/db/localname -maps you can
do more wonders too.. (Depending on what
cf files you use.)
