I have a situation that I've come across from time to time that I have never found a good fix for.
Sometimes I'll install a freebsd box at a site with private addresses (RFC 1918). Most of the time these sites also have local DNS setups. I'll take my home network as an example. My FreeBSD box (7.2) does: - File serving - PPP/Routing/NATd for the local network - WWW - Local DNS Nothing special. The network is a 192.168 network and the local domain is .lan The problem is when I try to forward periodic output to my real email address. My email box see's the EHLO from beastie.lan and rejects the message based on the fact that r...@beastie.lan is an unroutable address. There are a few solutions I've used in the past. - Replace sendmail with exim and configure the SMTP domain. - Put beastie.lan in my email servers hosts file. Neither of these are what I am looking for. I'd like to make sendmail re-write all outgoing emails (envelope as well as message) as *...@some.real.domain instead of *...@beastie.lan. I have a simple sendmail submit setup. (sendmail=no in rc.conf) I've added the following to the default sendmail mc file: MASQUERADE_AS(`mypublicdomain.com')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(beasie.lan)dnl Recompiled the cf files and restarted sendmail. Here is the kicker. If I log in as a normal user it masquerades just fine. If I simply "su -" to root, the masquerading works fine and the mail is sent as the original logged in user. But if I log in as root via the console then it does not alter the messages. Apart from ditching sendmail for another MTA, does anyone know how I might coerce sendmail into rewriting root's messages as well? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
