sendmail masquerading problem

Louis Coilliot — Fri, 28 Mar 2003 12:32:20 GMT

I can't manage to masquerade local adresses for internet.

In my sendmail.mc, I put that:

FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')
FEATURE(redirect)dnl
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
MASQUERADE_AS(`think.fr.')
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`think.fr.')
MASQUERADE_AS(think.fr)

and in genericstable I put that:

root@www.think.fr louis@think.fr

root louis@think.fr
louis louis@think.fr

louis@station2.think.fr louis@think.fr

Of course then I update sendmail:

makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart

But when I send a mail with root, I still have

root@www.think.fr

instead of root@think.fr or louis@think.fr

other problem : How to tell sendmail that @think.fr are local adresses ? (it says to me that it loops) ?

Thanks by advance !
Louis

Test with another user, I believe root is deliberately immune to Masquerade.

Hi,

Edit sendmail.cf.
There will be a line like this.
CE root
The above line will prevent masquerading the root user.

Change it to
CE

Save and restart the sendmail.
Hope your problem is solved.

regards,

Yes you're both right, thanks.

Where do I put that you resolved my problem ?

When you look at the post, you'll see blanks under the names of those who helped you.

Use the pull down to pick the number of points and press submit.

I'm attaching a tar of my sendmail setup so you can use it as a reference.

I've also included in the tar a buildmail script for linux that rebuilds the hash databases after you make changes.
