sendmail--masquerade & unknown users?

Bob Brown_1 — Fri, 14 Feb 2003 17:22:26 GMT

Running hpux 11i on a workstation. I want to config sendmail to
1: Hide my local system-name (have it all appear to come from username@domain)
2: Have all outbound email go to a central host (even if I specify a username (w/o domain) and it doesn't match a user in my local password or alias file (for example, if it's a ref to an alias on the central system).

thanks!

-Bob

Hi Bob,

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is the file you need to modify.

1. Search for DM. Make it to appear like

DMyour_domain.com

2. Look at DR, DH and DL explanations in the above file. A combination of these macros should fix your second requirement.

Hi,

Edit sendmail.cf and create these lines

DMdomain.com

modify

CEroot

to

CE

otherwise mails from root will not be masqueraded .

In addition:

Send all local mail to the "mail hub" (DH macro):

By setting the macro H (line starting with DH) to the name of the mail hub, all mail that is destined for a local user will, instead, be forwarded
to the same user on the mail hub.
You may have to generate a sendmail.cf.gen file with 10: Accept_unqualified_senders
