If you still want help, try reposting your question using your real domain
name and FQDN.  It could be a DNS issue (in fact, sounds like it to me), but I
get a headache trying to look at phil@domain and phil@FQDN all day.  We
need real DNS info to tell you if this is the problem.

Also include the unedited output of qmail-showctl.

host masquerading / qmail-remote problems

[Phil Schwartz]

I've scanned through the archives and FAQ and I
*think* I have qmail set up properly, however
masquerading isn't working for me.  I have my FQDN in
control/me, and then just the domain name in
control/defaulthost and control/defaultdomain.  After
reading the man page for qmail-remote (where I believe
my problem lies) I also added just the domain name to
the control/helohost file.  Mail sent remotely arrives
from phil@FQDN which is not what I want.

I believe my problem lies w/ qmail-remote because mail
delivered locally does not experience this problem. 
Mail delivered locally appears to be from
phil@domainname, as intended. 

I've looked at queue/mess/10/* (some random files) and
the From: address in those messages shows
phil@domainname, however, when the message is
delivered remotely it arrives From: phil@FQDN

I can reproduce this behavior by invoking qmail-remote
on the command line:

qmail-remote yahoo.com phil@domainname
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The message is delivered From phil@FQDN. 
Interestingly enough, if I tell it to use a random
domain name (not in any of my control files) as the
sender thing work fine:

qmail-remote yahoo.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The message arrives as From: [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Since the only configuration file that has anything to
do w/ qmail-remote (based on the Big Picture image) is
helohost, I'm clueless as to why qmail-remote keeps
transforming phil@domainname to phil@FQDN when it
appears as though I have things configured to prevent
this.

Can somebody please clue me in.  This has been driving
me nuts for quite awhile.  I have the Qmail book, read
the FAQ, scanned the archives, etc... and no luck.

For what it's worth, I'm running qmail via tcpserver
and using the supervise program (but since the problem
can be reproduced from the command line, bypassing
these programs, I don't believe they are a factor).

Thanks for any pointers,

Phil
