I've tried with no success to use an alias for the tmda transaction, to shield the unix username from exposure to the internet. Now, I've went through and read the FAQ, and searched the mailing list. I've seen some somewhat dated discussion on this not working for sendmail aliases. I am wondering if there are any new developments on getting this working, or if I can get this working using Postfix. I would really love to get this working somehow, someway.
Below are some of the other messages I had posted about what I was trying to do. Thanks for any assistance any of you might be able to provide!

This is how I would really like to set this up...but it does not seem to work. It works up until someone tries to confirm the address generated from the alias I used in the "CONFIRM_ADDRESS" section. Do I need to generate a different crypt_key or something? ..or is this simply not possible?

What I want is to use an alias for the TMDA challenge/response, and not the account name itself. I want the confirmation message going out without using the unix account name. Here is what I have tried: USERNAME = "fhe" HOSTNAME = "elitists.org" FULLNAME = "F. Even" MESSAGE_FROM_STYLE = "angles" CONFIRM_ADDRESS = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Now...the unix account name itself is something completely different, lets call it "acctname." Now, first of all, when the confirmation message, the message does not send out using the "USERNAME" I have specified, but the unix acctname. Yet, the message is sent w/ the correct "FULLNAME" and "MESSAGE_FROM_STYLE." Now, when someone tries to confirm their message w/ the above config, it also fails. Someone sends me a message, they will get the confirmation request from the "CONFIRM_ADDRESS" above, yet when they go to confirm, they will get a response which is another confirmation request. Now if I comment out the "CONFIRM_ADDRESS" above and let tmda create the confirmation address using the local unix "acctname," it then works. The "CONFIRM_ADDRESS" above is an alias pointing to "acctname." Is there any particular reason why this does not work? Thanks for any assistance you guys can provide.
