I have the following working mail setup:
1. Local postfix deferring all SMTP mail which uses localhost:2300 as a
relay. (DN local.net)
2. A remote postfix that is able to send emails. (DN remote.net)
3. A local cronjob that first sets up an SSH forwarding from
localhost:2300 to remote:25 and calls "sendmail -q" to push push the
locally queued email.
Now for the actual question. My local user is called 'foo' my remote
user is called 'bar'. I use the local /etc/mailname to rewrite outgoing
addresses to foo@remote.net, without it I am not able to relay through
the remote server. However, since the user 'foo' doesn't exist on the
remote system the logs will report that an unknown user sent emails.
How can I fix that locally?
I tried using "smtp_generic_maps" to rewrite foo@remote.net to
bar@remote.net, but didn't get it to do what I wanted. (With it in
place 'mailq' still reports foo@remote.net as the sender.)
