Hello,
I am having problems with sendmail...
first of all, I only want to use sendmail for outgoing email.
i want to change the domain from localhost.localdomain to mydomain.com, and change the username also to something else
eg: root@localhost.localdomain should be send as robbin.bonthond@mydomain.com,
robbin@localhost.localdomain should be send as robbin.bonthond@mydomain.com
and simone@localhost.localdomain should be send as simone.bonthond@mydomain.com
(lets assume that mydomain.com is valid, and that the emails addresses are also valid)
i have figured out how to change my domain name with the following settings in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
| Code: |
MASQUERADE_AS(mydomain.com)
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
FEATURE(masquerade_envelop)
Cwmydomain.com
Djmydomain.com
|
but i am unable to figure out how to change the usernames.
does anyone know how to do this ? |

I believe that this can be solved by putting the relevant entries in your /etc/aliases file and running newaliases
| Code: |
root: robbin.bonthond@mydomain.com

modify /etc/aliases works !
however, the problems continue....
the provider i am using is smtp.xs4all.nl, one of the emails is aliased at xs4all to another email adress (which i do not know in all cases), and when ever i try so send an email to it, sendmail bounces back with "user unknown"
so i have robbin@localhost.localdomain aliased to robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl
xs4all has robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl aliased to rbonthond@domain2.nl
using sendmail to send an email to robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl returns "user unknown"
using sendmail to send an email to rbonthond@domain2.nl works....
anyone know why ? |

Does robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl exist? Or should it be a different username?

I'm not quite sure what's going on here. Could you take a look at the headers in the email, and confirm that it's actually going to domain1.nl, and that it is the server there that is returning user unknown?

| Aliases only mean that jdoe is also john.doe, it doesn't alter the message so that it is addressed to john.doe. |

oke,
my /etc/hosts contains only this line:
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
|
this is an working sendmail.mc (@localdomain -> @domain2.nl):
| Code: |
divert(-1)dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl

MASQUERADE_AS(domain2.nl)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
|
with this /etc/aliases:
so email from robbin@localhost is send to rbonthond@domain2.nl (which is a real email)
this change to sendmail.mc does not work (@localdomain -> @domain1.nl):
| Code: |
MASQUERADE_AS(domain1.nl)dnl
|
with this /etc/aliases:
| Code: |
robbin: robbin.bonthond
|
this should send an email from robbin@localhost to robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl which is aliased at the provider to rbonthond@domain2.nl
so if i take the working sendmail and issue:
| Code: |
echo "test" | sendmail robbin.bonthond@domain1.nl
|
this is the output:
| Code: |
Mar 17 16:40:55 localhost sendmail[1156]: h2HFet6l001156: from=robbin, size=5, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200303171540.h2HFet6l001156@localhost.localdomain>, relay=robbin@localhost

[194.109.6.51], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (h2I0b3fK000279 Message accepted for delivery)
|
this is recieved at rbonthond@domain2.nl (but the from address states robbin@domain2.nl, wrong username  )
so now i switch to the wrong sendmail, and issue the same test command, i get the following errors:
| Code: |

any clue what i am doing wrong ???
now, for most of my users i do not know where their emails are aliased to, should not make any difference anyway.
domain1.nl is a owned domain by me, hosted by xs4all.
domain1.nl is taekwondo-nijmegen.nl
domain2.nl is hotmail.com
(trying to avoid spambots finding the real email addresses)
however, i also want to run sql-ledger, which is installed on a home linux server. sql-ledger requires sendmail.
what i want is:
* that email from root@localhost is send to administrator@domain1.nl
* email from user sql-ledger@localhost should have info@domain1.nl in the "from:" line.
* the rest of the emails send by users should have firstname.lastname@domain1.nl in the "from:" line. |
