If a client sends an email with the FROM: address as "user@abc.com" my relay blocks it since "abc.com" does not resolve ("server.abc.com" does, however).
If the client sends an email with the FROM: address as "user@server.abc.com", it will pass through my relay, but will be blocked by outside mail systems, since "server.abc.com" does not resolve (it's an internal only address).
I have tried putting in "abc.com" in the host tables so that it resolves to something, but the mail is still not going through. I may revisit this, now that I have more detailed logging turned on, but ideally, I would like to have sendmail not try to resolve the FROM: address. Older versions of sendmail didn't do this, it appears to be a new default in sendmail. I have tried setting:
O PrivacyOptions=public
in the sendmail.cf file, but this has no effect. I suppose I could create a new .cf file from the .m4, but I am hoping there is an option setting in sendmail.cf that I am missing.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionyou can allow your mail server to accept mails from abc.com for relay.
this link from itrc might help,
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000062922173
The itrc doc id is UMAILKBRC00009719
Hope this helps.

This didn't work, since, even though the mail relay masquerades as abc.com, the FROM: address still does not resolve.
Thanks for the idea, though!

That's exactly what I'm looking for! All I need to do is run the gen_cf script and have it generate a sendmail.cf with Accept_unresolvable_domains turned on.
Thanks!
