Subject: Masquerading in sendmail.cf

Date: 8/28/98 11:44 AM Pacific Daylight Time

I have a LAN that is connected to the internet. I want the hosts outgoing mail
to be masqueraded as coming from the server. I edited the host.mc file to
include

MASQUERADE_AS(server.domain.org) **using the correct name, of couse

I recompiled the sendmail.cf, copied it to /etc, and it now contains the line:

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMserver.domain.org

However, outgoing mail still claims to have come from the original host rather
than the server. Apparently this line is incorrect. Any ideas?

Try adding

FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)

It is correct. Yo might try adding to your .mc file:
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
FEATURE(use_cw_file)

And adding the host names that must be masqueraded to your
/etc/sendmail.cw file.

I suggest reading the web page:

Hope this helps.

Hi Mangelo

I edited my sendmail.cf file by uncommenting the line

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain #
Dj$w.eis.net.au

where eis.net.au is my domain name.

I now have the correct domain in my reply-to fields and so on, but sadly
haven't been able to masquerade as a different user (my username at my ISP
is different to that on my home machine)

Hope this helps and if you have any idea about username's please let me
know.

Thanks,

Have a look at the genericstable feature. That allows to do a one-on-one
mapping of internal to external user names. Works fine for me.

Now what I need is a one-to-many mapping, depending on whom I send the
mail to, like:

and so on.

Any ideas on that one? I'd write the rules, but haven't found a way to
access the target address, while rewriting the sender address.

Regards,
Jens
