Hi All,
I'm usually quite good with sendmail on Centos 5.8 but I must have missed something here. I've not done this before but, I want to set sendmail so that its outgoing mail appears to come from the domain of the network it lives on. Its real hostname is server2.domain.co.uk ( the domain bit is substituted for this post) and I want it to send as domain.co.uk, that is really valid, but the specific host server2.domain.co.uk does not have an A record and other mailservers reject its outgoing mail because server2.domain.co.uk does not resolve. But with these settings in sendmail.mc it still sends as server2.domain.co.uk if I simply type "mail -s test kens@kensnet.org" into bash.
MASQUERADE_AS(`domain.co.uk')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain.co.uk)dnl
(Yes I have done the m4 bit and restarted sendmail)
If I telnet to sendmail on port 25 and manually send as username@domain.co.uk it has the right "from" address.
So what have I missed?
Are you doing the test that fails as the 'EXPOSED_USER' in sendmail.mc (i.e. root)? That is for intentional exceptions to MASQUERADE_AS so you can tell where system type messages from cron jobs, etc. originate if you send everything to a mail hub.
