Hi
I have to setup sendmail to work for one of my applications.
The thing is I am behind several firewalls and I have no static IP or dyn-dns. I therefore need to setup masquerading but I can't seem to get it right as sendmail aways sends my local address, which the recipitant rightly rejects.
Here's my info
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc

Command to restart sendmail
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
|
Basically I just need sendmail because on of my programs needs it to send files to one of my emails
Any help would be greatly apreciated |

Dump sendmail and install postfix.
It is a gazillion degrees easier to set up

From the Bat Book:
"Some users (such as root) should never be masqueraded because one always needs to know their machine of origin."

That is not true; the program needs the sendmail interface, and every MTA offers that, for compatibility.
Read up on it.
If the program can only work with the actual sendmail binary then it is a shoddy program.

Thanx
I am still a bit of a n00b with mailer stuffses. ATM I am trying to get the fax to email thing working in asterisk. It runs through a script that is written for sendmail (I think sendmail is used everywhere in asterisk anyway).
Are you saying that I can use another program to get a sendmail like effect going? It needs to be similar enough so that can use the same fax-email script (maybe modify it slightly).
Which programs would you recommend? |

Exim, Postfix, Qmail, all three offer sendmail binary compatibility.
My favourite is Exim, but I've used Postfix too - both very configurable.
