RE: Sendmail Config
I use sendmail's genericstable feature without any
problems. It rewrites the addresses for all my (home
network) users as their email heads out the mail gateway.
If you can tell us what problems you were having, perhaps
we can help you.
genericstable was really easy to get going. Simply put
a list of all domains you want addresses rewritten for
in /etc/mail/genericsdomain. For example, on the internal
side of my network, I use @home.lan addresses. These get
rewritten when mail passes through the outgoing mail gateway.
[jeremy@KERBEROS:pts/0:~]$ cat /etc/mail/genericsdomain
home.lan
[jeremy@KERBEROS:pts/0:~]$ grep ^jeremy /etc/mail/genericstable
jeremy jeremy@g0atpr0n.org
This shows that for any email that comes in with a From address
of "jeremy@home.lan", it should be rewritten as "jeremy@g0atpr0n.org".
sendmail doesn't use the plain-text genericstable file, however. You
need to generate a hashed db file using:
`makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable`.
HTH.

Subject: Sendmail Config
Hi,
I got a problem with sendmail's config.
I'm using the cyrus imapd and sendmail as MTA on one machine.
This machine is MXed as internal mail server. Internal email is sent
as expected but sendmail tries to send external mails with my internal
email address. Therefore freemailer like GMX are rejecting this mails
because my sender domain is not resolvable.
I tried using genericstable feature to rewrite my internal address. I
also tried to send my email to my gateway machine that should masquerade
emails to come from gmx.net.
Both didn't work.
If you have any information that may help to solve this please CC
it to me because I'm not subcribed yet.
Thanks in advance.
Bye
Sven
