sendmail configuration questions for host name aliases

Post by Vaios Papaioanno » Tue, 29 Oct 1996 04:00:00



I posted this problem some time ago but since then no reply...

My host has two DNS entries:

my.host and my.alias

I would like to configure e-mail (sendmail) so that outgoing mail would
look like coming out of my.alias rather than my.host

I 've used some directives to force outgoing addresses but nothing....

any ideas ??

thanks

Vaios

Masquerading.

in /etc/sendmail.cf  set the line which includes the "DM" option to:

DMmy.host

Does this help?

1. 2.2 sendmail: 553 host.iona.ie host name configuration error

Okay folks, sorry if it's a FAQ, but this has been bugging me quite
a bit...
What's up with this:

16:28:36 - 113 #...; /usr/lib/sendmail -v jmason

Now, shouldn't a command-line invocation of /usr/lib/sendmail try to
deliver locally without trying to connect to its OWN port 25, or at
least try and connect to the real mailhost, or even to class.iona.ie's
MX-record host? Why is it so brain-damaged??! :(

I've applied the 101077-03 jumbo sendmail patch, and the same thing
happens with both main.cf and subsidiary.cf. I'm stumped. The -bt 3,0
ruleset testing works grand, and the rewriting is valid... mail from
other hosts works grand too. It's only local mail-sending that's stuck.

Anyone know?
