Subject: [CentOS] configuring sendmails domain
I tried editing sendmail.cf and changing the Dj line to X.com
so any email originating from my machine would be X.com not m.X.com
where m is machine name.
I typed make in the /etc/mail directory and did service sendmail restart.
This did not work. email still shows as m.X.com
What am I missing so as to NOT have the machine name in the email address.
I just want the domain.
Thanks,
Jerry

Editing the .cf file is not the way to do this sort of thing. Ensure you have the sendmail-cf package installed and make your changes to the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and then type 'make' to build the new .cf. Then restart sendmail.
Incidentally, the .mc file has the necessary parameters in it that you may be looking for;
dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl
