From aliases using mail and sendmail

2004-04-25 Thread Malcolm Kay
May user login is 'malcolm' whereas my ISP allocates 
me an e-Mail address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

I can get internode.on.net into the domain of the 'from'
address using the masquerade feature in sendmail.

But how can I translate the user part:
  malcolm - malcolm.kay
when using mail and sendmail?

I really need something like sendmail aliases but 
operating on outgoing 'from' addresses rather than 
incoming 'to' addresses.

That's precisely what genericstable is for.  You'll need aliases or
virtusertable entries as well, to translate the name back to the UID
when people send replies to that address.

Cheers,
