When mail is sent so SOME websites, they kick it back because it can't resolve mybox.company.com.
In linux, the solution would be to add FEATURE('nullclient','mail.company.com') in file sendmail.mc. But in HPUX there is no sendmail.mc file.
In mybox.company.com:/etc/mail/sendmail.cf...
#Dj$ not used.
DSmail.company.com
I would like the mail to be from mail.company.com when going out to the world, but stay mybox.company.com when inside.
Anyway to do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThere is a nullclient feature. The O'Reilly book documents how to set this up, but basically you create a 3-line null.mc file, e.g.
include('../m4/cf.m4')
OSTYPE('sunos4.1')
FEATURE('nullclient','mail.company.com')
then m4 null.mc > client.cf

Re: sendmail not getting through proxy server
Enable DM macro in your sendmail.cf
file?
For your localdomain you use CM macro.
So, it will not masquerade for your local domain
DMyourdomain.com
CMyourdomain.com
This should fix your problem

Re: sendmail not getting through proxy server
But here's an question I that came out of this. What if I send to a bogus email account? It would try to respond back to me@mail.company.com, a bogus account. So, I would never know I never made it right?
I really have a good email address in the From: field. But it looks like it uses the "Return Path

Re: sendmail not getting through proxy server
I am not sure if this can be applied to your setup. The way in which our site is setup that we keep aliases on the name server.
For example, on all our systems, we do site hiding by enabling DM and CM macros. So whenever a mail is sent from this system, it goes as
me@mydomain.com
Now, when people reply to this mail, it first gets into my name server (because it is addressed to mydomain.com) where "me" is aliased to "me@mysystem" and reaches me. Then it will be forwarded to "me" on "mysystem".
We don't have to worry about internal mail as my CM macro will take care of it.
This way we can have good control over the mail.
I didn't use nullclient feature either.

Re: sendmail not getting through proxy server
The outbound email works thanks to
"DM legit.dns.name". Where legit.dns.name is where I put my real dns name.
Thanks for the help.
