Sendmail Masquerading Problem

Hi,

Mail send out from unix box, the From field is @.

To get rid off the part, I modified sendmail.cf in HP-UX with the following:
:
DM
:
Then I restart sendmail.

The recipient mail of the From field stated as @. This is what I expected.

In the HP-UX server, the system stating the folloiwng using sendmail -v command:
:
>>> MAIL From:@.
:

Why is it so? It is still sending out the mail with the part.

How to get rid off the part from the HP-UX server when the mail is sent out? It is important because the bounce back mail seems using the @. which the HP-UX server is not configured to recv mail.



Thanks in advance,
YC

Hi,

DM should have worked. Do you have a non-default CE macro setup?. Masquerading will not be done for the users specified under CE macro.

Re: Sendmail Masquerading Problem

A while back I had opened a ticket with HP concerning this same issue and was given the following:

sendmail.cf
DM # Add domain name
Uncomment line starting with S94
Uncomment line starting with R$+
Comment out line CE root #To masquerade root id.

Re: Sendmail Masquerading Problem

you might want to try the sendmail.mc equivalent for HP-UX.

I hate missing with sendmail.cf, I almost always use macros' which makes it easier to regenerate the sendmail.cf from a file that has a readable format.

Let me know if you want to go this way.

Re: Sendmail Masquerading Problem

missing should have been messing

Let me attach a script that shows how easy sendmail macro programming is with hp-ux.

Re: Sendmail Masquerading Problem

Thanks everyone.

By copying a working sendmail.cf file from another host, it seems working now.

I will compare the different of both sendmail.cf file to find out the different.

BTW, is there a easy understand book for sendmail that will solve commonly configuration issues?

Don't think it's "easy" but the best book to have is:

sendmail by O'reilly & Associates

There's also a cookbook:
