sendmail.cf site hiding doesn't work for root

[Stuart Abramson_2]

1. I'm trying to use "site hiding", which is the DM macro in sendmail.cf

Here is what I get:

a. It works just fine if the user is not root.

email from an ordinary user, such as oracle, (which is ordinary to me), has an
"outgoing" address: like this:

oracle@wabtec.com

b. For root the outgoing email address is:

root@hostname.wabtec.com

2. I want email from "root" to look just like other emails:

root@wabtec.com

Is there some way to make this happen?

Hi,

Look for the macro "CE" and make sure root is not configured to 'not to use' site hiding. I believe root is by default disabled from masquerading.
