Package: smail
Version: 3.2.0.102-1
Severity: wishlist
I need smail configured to masquerade as mitre.org for outbound mail
(so all mail from vanzandt-pc.mitre.org appears to come from
mitre.org, even if it is addressed to other hosts within mitre.org),
but not to accept mail for mitre.org (because my smarthost accepts
such mail, and redirects it here only if appropriate). I was unable
to set this up with smailconfig. I eventually set it up using
configtype=1,
from="vanzandt-pc.mitre.org",
no alternate addresses, and
smarthost=1,
then editing /etc/smail/config to set visible_host=mitre.org.
I have three suggestions:
(1) provide a way to set this up without manual edits (or else
clarify the dialog, if there is a way already :-)
(2) record somewhere the choices made when smailconfig is run,
to make it easier to reconstruct what happened.
(3) preferably, smailconfig should offer the current
configuration as the default entries (not just after the first time
around the dialogs).
