That's the function of genericstable -- it will map a system username
'jd' to an appropriate e-mail address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
See /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README for details, but essentially you
need to add:
FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl
to your `hostname`.mc file -- note that this probably won't work as
part of a `hostname`.submit.mc, although I haven't done any sort of
definitive test of that. I also like to use:
FEATURE(generics_entire_domain)dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN(`infracaninophile.co.uk')dnl
which causes the genericstable transformation only to be applied to
addresses where the domain part matches one of the listed domains.
(Otherwise, all outgoing addresses are candidates for genericstable
matching).
You may also find useful:
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
To set up the genericstable database itself, edit the file
/etc/mail/genericstable and add the names you want transformed in the
LHS column with the target addresses in the RHS column:
jd [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then run 'make' in /etc/mail to build genericstable.db -- sendmail
will pick up changes to the genericstable.db without having to be
restarted.
Cheers,
Matthew
