oh boy, looks like I screwed things up some trying to add hosting for another domain besides my own
I thought I went by the book here but something sure ain't right.
my real email address is rado@rivers-bend.com
then a few days ago, I tweaked sendmail.mc I think it was to masquerade ideallightinginc.com (the other domain) now I just noticed I am showing as rado@ideallighting.com
uggggg now what?

If you use the masquerade feature you can only have one masquerade_as target. Using the generics feature you can rewrite outgoing mail differently.

I hadn't used the generics table until recently. I wrote up a skeletal howto and use case; it may be of some help:

Or, if you can make sure everyone sets their own correct 'From:' address in their own mail client settings you can turn off the masquerade_as.

For us, the trick wasn't so much for mail sent from a well behaved mail client as much as it was from application-generated mail on the local machine.

Yes, you'd only get one choice there if the app doesn't supply a From: header. Even without masquerade_as, sendmail would supply the local host and domain name to qualify an otherwise bare name.

kk I got rid of that other masquerade feature... I did add a feature `generictable' line ....by the book...tried to add a file w/ a user username@otherdomain called it idealusers then the book said to run makemap hash /etc/mail/idealusers (in my case)
and I never could get the prompt to come back...like it was hung
I then googled round and ended up installing webmin and put line in the localdomains file
restarted sendmail as per the howto
I am not sure but I think that's all the howto instructions pertaining to doing this.
I'll find out when I get someone to test it w/me
I hope so....long time since I used webmin but it's pretty cool

makemap expects to receive something via standard input (stdin); the proper invocation (and the one I included on my howto page) would be
makemap hash /etc/mail/idealusers < /etc/mail/idealusers
You'll end up with a file /etc/mail/idealusers.db. If you've configured sendmail properly, there also ought to be line in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf that points to your file:
Kgenerics hash /etc/mail/idealusers

Thx for this info Paul...gonna save this msg....wanna see if what I did w/webmin works first and don't wanna do to many changes at once..
