hi! following FAQ109.html in the FreeBSD FAQ i have configued sendmail so that
it will use my isp's hostname instead of my local box in the from: when
sending email.

i use this in an mc file to make the sendmail.cf

VERSIONID(`insomnia.mc version 1.3')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
FEATURE(nouucp)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
Cwinsomnia.home.bsd
Cwlabyrinth.net.au
MASQUERADE_AS(`labyrinth.net.au')dnl
FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl
FEATURE(nodns)dnl
define(SMART_HOST, `mail.labyrinth.net.au')
Dmlabyrinth.net.au
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`labyrinth.net.au')dnl

however, there is a problem with this. my isp's domain is labyrinth.net.au. i
can send email to people just fine. EXCEPT for people who are also subscribers
to my isp. so if i send email to foo@labyrinth.net.au sendmail tried to
deliver it to my local machine (i assume because of the masquerading), instead
of to user foo on my isp.

any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Ciao.
Ashley.
