Hello, I'm using dialup to connect to the internet and i tried to setup sendmail in the way it is mentioned in the FreeBSD Handbook. According to Chapter 22.9 all you have to do is to setup sendmail in a way that it rewrites your local domain address to your ISP's domain address. This means that something like user@bsd.home will become user@isp's.net . Of course THIS IS WORKING but it doesn't suit users that have a different login name at ther local machine and a different one at their's ISP mailbox. A solution to this is to use a genericstable file at their /etc/mail mc file so there can be full address rewriting like userY@bsd.home becomes userZ@isp's.net . The options that i have appended to the previous configuration are the following: FEATURE(`genericstable', `btree -o /etc/mail/genericstable') FEATURE(`generics_entire_domain') GENERICS_DOMAIN(`bsd.home') [user@bsd.home]doc $ cat /etc/mail/genericstable user@bsd.home userZ@isp's.net Thanks for your time.
