Re: Invalid Global DNS name and sendmail
Thanks to everyone who replied, the solution is detailed below
Copy /usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/generic.m4 -> /etc/mail/custom-domain.m4
softlink /etc/mail/custom-domain.m4 ->
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/custom-domain.m4
Edit /etc/mail/custom-domain.m4 and remove the EXPOSED_USERS('root') line
Edit .m4 and change the DOMAIN(generic) line to
DOMAIN(custom-domain)
Somehow this broke Make, so I ended up having to manually nuke
.cf and .submit.cf to force it to rebuild them.
Then a simple "make install" followed by "make stop; make start" and the
mail began to flow.
That allowed my previous masquerading configuration to work correctly,
and I'm now getting my periodic emails.

Should the .cf ever be remade, these changes would be blown away Right-- seems to be for the .mc file (from /usr/share/sendmail/cf/ README): There are always users that need to be "exposed" -- that is, their internal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade name. Root is an example (which has been "exposed" by default prior to 8.10). You can add users to this list using EXPOSED_USER(`usernames') ...and to change hostname use: define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `hostname.example.com') -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

What I'd like to do is find a way to alter sendmail's perception of
my hostname. Ideally, this would only affect sendmail and nothing
else.
The reason emails from root are being exposed using the real hostname
is because of this:
# class E: names that should be exposed as from this host, even if
we masquerade
# class L: names that should be delivered locally, even if we have
a relay
# class M: domains that should be converted to $M
# class N: domains that should not be converted to $M
#CL root
C{E}root
...in sendmail.cf. Remove root from this C{E} line and you should be
all set.
However, if you want to explicitly set your hostname in sendmail,
change this:
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine
your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.CO
...to:
Djmyhost.example.com
...or whatever you like.
