Hi folks,

We moved 2 webservers from Linux to Solaris 10 2 weeks ago and we have a
little problem with sendmail. We try to put DM and CM into sendmail.cf
so the server itself sends email using the internet domains instead of
the machine itself.

I mean server1.domain.com send email outside using [at] domain.com instead
of [at] server1.domain.com! We do this with no problem under Linux but for
unknown reason, I can't do that under Solaris 10!

Anyone can help us resolving this issue!?

Thanks

Just dont do that. Add the features in the m4 file then run make.
What I mean is you should not hand edit .cf files.

Post your .mc file w/o comments.
I mean after reading up on MASQUERADING in
/etc/mail/cf/README and trying a few things
(should it turn out things dont do what you want..)

I use
MASQUERADE_AS
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl

amongst others due to my particular setup

cd /etc/mail/cf/cf
Copy sendmail.mc to some applicable name other than 'local.mc'
e.g.: test.mc, edit, and then "make test.cf"
You'll need /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH

You can use -C with sendmail to test
Read the man page on sendmail

All this has been beaten to death in the past - you might try
searching the archives for more hints

My MC file is like this:


divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(` [at] (#)sendmail.mc 1.11 (Sun) 06/21/04')
OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl
define(`confFALLBACK_SMARTHOST', `mailhost$?m.$m$.')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

LOCAL_NET_CONFIG
R$* < [at] $* .$m. > $* $#esmtp $ [at] $2.$m $: $1 < [at] $2.$m. > $3


Thanks!

Please do not top post -
The above is incomplete like my example - you have to masquerade as
something..
Again the documentation in the README file is enough to go on I think:
you should have something like:
MASQUERADE_AS(`example.net')dnl
As I said earlier you may need to add more still.
So I guess the question is:
Are things working like you want??
