Hi ppl,
I had configured sendmail for my local machine. I have also masqueraded
the domain to
DMuss.enter.prise.com 1
CMlocalhost
CMspock (same machine)
When i send mails locally from one user to another the domain gets
masqueraded from [EMAIL PROTECTED] . When i send mail to the
internet the headers look like:
Received: from unknown (HELO uss.enter.prise.com) (210.214.0.109) by 0
with SMTP; 24 Jan 2002 04:09:41 -0000
Received: (from root@localhost) by uss.enter.prise.com (8.11.6/8.11.6)
id g0O4ALf01363; Thu, 24 Jan 2002 09:40:21 +0530
Here u can see that the mail is being recieved from root@locahost even
though the domain is masqueraded. Is this ok ? I heard that some mail
servers reject mail from root@localhost because they treat it as spam. I
even checked some ILUGC mail headers, they too look like :
Received: from mailx1.iitm.ac.in (IDENT:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[144.16.245.7]) by aero.aero.iitm.ernet.in (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id
OAA12477 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 24 Jan 2002 14:43:12 +0530
Received: (from root@localhost) by mailx1.iitm.ac.in (8.11.0/8.11.0) id
g0O99wh06007 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 24 Jan 2002 14:39:58
+0530
So is sending from root@locahost ok as long as it's by
uss.enter.prise.com as shown in the above headers ? or do i have to run
a local dns (can the ip be updated thro some tool?) or do i have to
change some relay settings? . Let me know....
