I got only 2 answers. the first may has misunderstood my question. the
second has pointed to the client side. may be, his hint is correct.
I'm using the solution, i got from usenet news to solve the problem
at a single point, the mailhost.
The fileclass variable
Fw/etc/sendmail.cw contains all hosts, for which mailhost is accepting mails.
So i wrote a script, which makes /etc/sendmail.cw for all our local hosts
with entries host.uucp .
This works fine for us.
p.s.: We use sendmail8.8.5, I'm not sure that it works with sun's sendmail.

Hello Thomas,
You could edit the crontab for lp and specify the address you want to send to.
eg.
#
13 3 * * * cd /var/lp/logs; if [ -f requests ]; then if [ -f requests.1 ]; then /bin/mv requests.1 requests.2; fi; /usr/bin/cp requests requests.1; > /requests;
fi 2>&1 | /usr/ucb/Mail user@host
David.

My guess is that you are, since I have the same problem. Just wanted to say that in the latest version of the driver software, they removed the host! part and the banner (and probably the mail) goes simply to "user" now.
