email header problem

[Jason Smith <jvsmith@midamer.net>]

Good evening, 

I'm having a minor problem that I need help and or clarification on.  

What's happening here is that there is a sendmail server that is using
my qmail server to relay mail to the outside world.  This is for
outgoing mail only.  There is no scadm user that can check mail on my
qmail server.  What the out come needs to be is for the from field to
show up as scadm @ netops.firstcellular.com. The person who is
configuring the sendmail server is telling me that it is my mail server
that is changing the from: field on messages from scadm, I think he is
wrong.  What is below is the command I used to send mail from the host
with sendmail to my account on my qmail server.  Below that is the
output from the command and the message headers from my email box for
each message.  

What I am thinking is that since he is not using an mua, sendmail is not
putting the same from: field as what an mua would which is causing the
problem.  I have the sendmail.cf file from the host and I can send it if
someone would like to look at it.  Here's what I'm thinking.  The Date:,
From:, and Message-Id:, are being added by the originating host be it
the mua or mta in this case the mta on the originating host.  The mta
that is relaying the mail is adding the Return-Path:, Delivered-To:,
Received:, Received:, and Received:, lines.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Jason Smith
