Hi all, Ive done this before but the solution alludes me now. Can someone please remind me how to change the default Redhat behavior of root email being sent from root@server.domain to root@domain. It's something in sendmail.mc from memory.

If you are running sendmail, the pieces you want are:

MASQUERADE_AS(`xdroop.com')dnl dnl EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl

Prefixing a line with 'dnl' effectively comments it out.

You might also be interested in:

FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl

..depending on what you are doing.

Then restart sendmail. The init script will run make in /etc/mail before launching.

(oh, and change 'xdroop.com' to your domain of course. :)
