Send mail with alias address

Rita Li — Sat, 04 Jan 2003 15:40:04 GMT

Hi All,

UX HP11.0 server with no internet access or dns, internet e-mail is sent via a smart relay host (an internal Exchange server)

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is configured with
Dj$w.companydomain.com

Now able to send internet mail successfully but mail header shows the sender's address as
@companydomain.com, which would cause problem if people do a reply.

How can I change the sender's address to be
@companydomain.com so when people do a reply, I still can receive the mail at Exchange?

Any help is much appreciated.

Rita

Hi Rita,
Edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file
Search for Kuser.

uncomment the Kuser entry
add you exchange server's fully qualified domain name to
the DL entry.

Save the file and restart the sendmail daemon.

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start.

Srini.

the easiest way to change the reply to address is when you send an e-mail......

mailx -s "subject" -r alias@companydomain.com recipient@address.com < message.txt

hope this helps

Hello!

You can also use the userdatabase feature of sendmail. If you have access to the knowledge trees have a look here:

Hi,

You can try by the sendmail o mailx command options, i.e:

mailx -r target_address@domain

echo "From: "|sendmail target_address@domain

In both cases is configured like origin address.
