In the process of trying to map a username into something else as the email comes and goes from sendmail, I have locked up sendmail. Right now when I try to send mail through pine, pine freezes at the send. This is what I have done: Ok, I have the following lines in my sendmail.cf: # Generics table (mapping outgoing addresses) Kgenerics hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable # Virtual user table (maps incoming users) Kvirtuser hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable and I created one source file for Generics table that will convert email from sam to scarleton, it looks like this: sam scarleton@domain.com and then a source file for Virtual user table as to map scarleton@domain.com back to sam: scarleton@domain.com sam I have also modified the alias file. Then I used makemap in this fashion to create /etc/mail/genericstable.db, /etc/mail/virtusertable.db, and /etc/alias.db makemap hash genericstable < gsourcefile makemap hash virtusertable < vsourcefile makemap hash aliases < aliases I first had done only the genericstable and virtusertable. The outgoing email name was NOT being traslated for me:( After changing alias and running makemap on it, that is when pine started freezing when trying to send mail. Should I be using makemap to create the files or is there another program I should be using for the default config on FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE?
