Sun Managers,
I'm running sendmail version 8.12.10+Sun on a V480 running Solaris 9 which
is about a month behind on patch levels (sendmail patch up-to-date). I'm having
a problem removing the hostname from the 'FROM:' header of any email sent from
this server. Since I don't have DNS resolving this host (internal host, sends
all mail to a MTA) on the outside, some mail servers will not accept mail from
my domain.
Example: 'someuser@thismachine.mwh.com' needs to be 'someuser@mwh.com'
I've set the masquerading parameter and that didn't work. I've even tried
rewriting the header within the following rule set:
#
# common sender and masquerading recipient rewriting
#
SMasqSMTP
R$* < @ $* > $* $@ $1 < @ $2 > $3 already fully qualified
## Added 05/18/2004 Mitch M. to remove hostname from the headers
R$+ $@ $1 < @ $m > Remove local
qualification
#R$+ $@ $1 < @ *LOCAL* > add local qualification
but that didn't work for this version of sendmail. It works on a Solaris 2.6
machine running sendmail version 8.9+1.5+Sun.
Does anyone have tips, tricks or been able to resolve this problem?
Below is a copy of my machine.mc file that I used to build my sendmail.cf file.
TIA!
Mitch

# This is a configuration file for SunOS 5.8 (a.k.a. Solaris 8) and later
# subsidiary machines. It has support for local and SMTP mail. The
# SMART_HOST macro is enabled, which means that messages will be sent to
# the SMART_HOST, which is set to mailhost.$m ($m is the local domain).
# A short-cut rule is also defined, which says if the recipient host is
# in the local domain, send to it directly instead of the smart host.
#
# Note: if you do not need a smart host; i.e., you are in an environment
# where MX records are properly defined, then you should not be using
# this subsidiary config file; use main instead.
#
# If you want to customize this further, copy it to a name appropriate
# for your environment and do the modifications there.
