From: address in Sendmail.

I have just installed animail a spam stopper program like Procmail. It
configured Kmail to use sendmail instead of my ISP's account. Sendmail
refused to send mail because the FQDN I have invented for myself isn't
registered as a Web address. I can see nothing in Procmail or Animail
which allows me to set my full From: address to get through my ISP - only
the domain part (after the @). Am I misunderstanding something?

Of course I changed Kmail back to the original setting, but I haven't
learned anything.
