'root' is by default a member of class E in the sendmail config -- that's "Exposed users" or users who are exempt from masquerading. Emails from that clas of UID will have the FQDN of the sending host as the RHS of the e-mail address. The answer is to add the names of all of the hosts that your smart host handles mail for to /etc/mail/local-host-names (one per line).

Re: How do I have sendmail forward emails from root...
In /etc/mail, I ran: make cf maps aliases install stop start after every change... More info, now that I think of it. The mail server is getting the emails, but kicks it back because the the "From:" header has an unknown host. [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I remedy this?

How do I have sendmail forward emails from root...
Hello peoples, I've tried quite a few things and just can't seem to get sendmail to forward emails generated by root processes to go to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I am running 4.9-Stable. How am I supposed to configure this? I have added a line to /etc/mail/aliases root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also added to my domain specific .mc configuration file these lines: MASQUERADE_AS(`nc.rr.com')dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mmercer.com') FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-server.nc.rr.com') Thanks in advance!
