Here's the deal, I've got a firewall with a real IP and domain name, eggplant.mtu.net, forwarding all SMTP traffic to an internal mailserver, non-routable IP, disk.mn.mtu.net. If I send messages through my internal mailserver the messages look like they're from disk.mn.mtu.net and I want them to look like they're from eggplant.mtu.net because outside mailservers can't do a lookup on disk.mn.mtu.net, non-routable IP. I've tried setting DMeggplant.mtu.net in the sendmail.cf file and that just modifies the message, not the envelope. If I tell disk.mn.mtu.net that it's hostname is eggplant.mtu.net, everything seems to work ok, but I'm thinking that a network with two machines believing they're the same name is not a good idea. I don't really want to regenerate my sendmail.cf from m4 because I'm not sure I can. Don't know which one I started with 5 years ago, although it might not matter. Any ideas? Yes I checked out http://www.sendmail.org and the sendmail docs and they all talk about regenerating the sendmail.cf through m4. No I'm not going to use qmail right now unless someone can point me at explicit directions, I tend to need them sometimes, at how to set it up so that it works like a mostly default sendmail config, with the above fix. -- Jon Schewe | http://eggplant.mtu.net/~jpschewe For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
