It seems I can't. I don't usually send myself messages so I
hadn't
noticed. It's the name I log in by, the address to which all the
messages
that arrive in my inbox are sent.
If I send the message using the system's sendmail.cf it goes
through, and
identifies my address as the sender and recipient, the same addresses
that don't work when I use my own sendmail.cf
