What is your Mail Transport Agent? Sendmail? What header_check
do you have running there? Your OS/MTA is misconfigured if the
sender address appears as name@localhost rather than a fully
qualified address like user@vsc.edu. *IF* you are running a
sendmail MTA, try adding FEATURE(`always_add_domain') to your
sendmail.mc and rebuild the sendmail.cf from it. The if "From"
addresses still appear as localhost, fix your OS. What does a
'hostname' command return? Is the name of the machine listed
on the loopback (localhost) address in /etc/hosts? Change it
to it's own line with the IP of the network interface that is
supposed to match the name. What about resolv.conf? Are you
using DNS resolution?

I have never seen this one before, but I do not add header checking
to my sendmail configuration.

This is the problem. Your email address is not an internet legal,
fully qualified, email address. Every host is localhost to itself.
Your MTA is responsible for applying the domain name to the address.
Perhaps your MUA (Mail User Agent, netscape, outlook) is at fault.
If your OS hostname or /etc/hosts file are misconfigured, any tool
that depends them can only use what they are given.
