EMS ignores sendmail user database ?

Scott Mitchell — Thu, 29 Jul 2004 14:50:58 GMT

I had to setup a sendmail 'user database' in order to get email thru Verizon's email screening process ( they don't accept email that is addressed as "from root@xxxxxxx.xxx", so the sendmail user database changes it to 'user@xxxxxxx.xxx' ). The user database change works for all emails from root except the EMS monitor emails - they still get sent as "from root@xxxxxx.xxx" instead of being changed. Anyone know why and/or how to fix? Thanks.

Afraid I can't give you the answer, but I can tell you that EMS pipes its messages directly to sendmail, invoking it with the '-t -i' options, if that's any help.

Thanks, that's a start, I'll see what those switches do / don't do and post any results.
