Email adress problems in Linux

Post by Rustan Lundgr » Fri, 12 Apr 1996 04:00:00



Hi.

I just want to know how to remove the host name in the email-adresses?

I run one Linux computer, that acts as a DNS (with named up and running) and
as a SMTP server (with Sendmail, also up and running).

All the e-mail adresses (which is the default setting as I understand it)

Do I have to start digging in thoose horrible sendmail configuration-files or
is it enough to change something in the MX entry in the named config. files?

Please help me out!

I think it would be enough to define "DMdomain.xx" in your sendmail.cf
file so sendmail will maquerade as domain.xx.  But make sure this domain

BTW your reply address is invalid, so I have to post.

I believe it is as easy as using *.domain.com in the MX entry.

Replace sendmail with qmail (look in
ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/pub/software) and set
control/defaultdomain.  Qmail compiles out of the box for Linux, and
is faster, more reliable, more secure, smaller, and easier to
configure.

and make sure you have CW's for all the names you want sendmail to
know about.

In /etc/sendmail.cf you should add a line that looks like:

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading)
DMdomain.xx

Then, you must have an MX record in DNS so that other mailers
can find out which machine handles mail for "domain.xx".  That
machine should have a line like this in it's sendmail.cf:

Cwdomain.xx

This is so it knows to not forward mail to the MX host (itself).
Newer sendmail's can also do this with a sendmail.cw file rather
than changing sendmail.cf directly.  In that case, there will be
a line in sendmail.cf that says something like:

# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
Fw/etc/sendmail.cw

This is handy if you are the mail exchanger for a lot of other
domains (as when doing virtual hosting).
