sendmail masquerade outbound help

[Denver Osborn]

Howdy, I've got a small problem that I can't figure out.

Here's my problem. I accept mail for local user "user1@domain1.com" and remote user "user2@domain2.com". My sendmail.cw has both domain1.com and domain2.com listed so I can accept mail for both, and DM is set to domain1.com in sendmail.cf.

I need to send an outbound message and change the From: address to user2@domain2.com, but my current config changes user2@domain2.com to user2@domain1.com. Unless I remove domain2.com from sendmail.cw, or st DM to null.

Any thoughts on how to get this to work?

Thanks

Yes.

create the users in /etc/mail/virtusertable and /etc/mail/genericstable

Then use sendmail macros.

http://www.hpux.ws/buildmail.hpux.text

This file will tell you where the macro file is in the that script.

Here is what you need in there:
Cwdomain1.com
Cwdomain2.com
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain1.com)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain2.com)dnl

run the script, building the databases and generating a new sendmail.cf file.

I love this stuff. Let me know if you have troubles.

Hi Denver,

use the -r reply_to_address option with the mailx command,

cat some_file |mailx -s "Some subject" -r user2@domain2.com some_address.com

Hope this helps.

Hi Denver,

You can also try the userdb database to make this change permanent,

The itrc doc id is KBRC00010421.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info SEP! Your info got me looking in the right direction. I appreciate it.

Ended up adding "CNdomain2.com" to the sendmail.cf just above "DMdomain1.com". This took care of it an allowed me to use From: domain2.com w/out it getting changed to domain1.com.

Thanks!
