Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I want to make sendmail (on a 5.3-Release server) leave the host name out o=
f=20
the sender address when sending mail from that machine.
I.E. mail from root currently has a sender address of root@myhost.foo.bar, =
I=20
want it to be root@foo.bar instead.

I need to do this because our "smart host" mail server (over which I have n=
o=20
control) rejects mail from our domain if it has a hostname in it. Since my=
=20
server is in a VPN, I forward root's mail to my own account on the 'smart=20
host' server to make it accessible from outside the VPN.

I think that the masquerading settings have changed somewhat since I last d=
id=20
this. I read http://www.sendmail.org/m4/masquerading.html, it suggests=20
MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') but when I tried that, it didn't work.

I believe it used to be just a matter of adding Dmfoo.bar to sendmail.cf &=
=20
restart sendmail, but that doesn't work.
I have commented out the C{E}root line so that doesn't override the Dm sett=
ing=20
for root.

Sorry this OT, I did try to find somewhere else to ask this question, but t=
he=20
newsgroup listed on the sendmail site doesn't seem to exist (according to m=
y=20
news reader) so I'm asking here instead.

Cheers,

=2D-=20
Ian
