Hi,
I have been playing a few hours with sendmail settings, but I failed to
configure it correctly. I want to explain what I want to do. Perhaps
sendmail is the wrong tool for this.
I want to send mail from /usr/bin/mail, emacs, vi etc and forward it
to my provider. That means, the local "From:" address and other
headers need to be mapped to my external mail address. It is not
enough to just rewrite the host name. The user name is also different.
I have read several documents now. The FreeBSD handbook (contains
errors with dialup configurations btw), the freebsddiary, an
explanation directly from sendmail.org and few from some universities.
I have been searching on google, but the combination of smart host
and genericstable seems very unusual.
Nothing works so far. I can see that SMART_HOST setting works, because
sendmail is always giving me MAILER-DAEMON-mails containing chat-logs
with the external SMTP server. But the From-Line was not translated
according to my settings in /etc/mail/genericstable (yes, it contains
tabs and not spaces). GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE is correct, too, in my
opinion.
When I remove the SMART_HOST setting. The From-lines are translated
correctly, but the mail will get bounced of course, because I'm
dialup.
The FreeBSD handbook does not mention genericstable and how it works
and if it works. I cannot see what is wrong and sendmail -bt shows
that it does not translate addresses.
Martin
