You can also "fake" who you are by using the "Dj<domain_name>" option in sendmail.cf. I do this with servers that are running on internal networks protected by NAT firewalls. Works a charm.
Example: Djtrilug.org Now stop/restart sendmail and all your mail will be seen as coming from "trilug.org". If you want to include your machine's hostname, you can either hard code it in: Djmail.trilug.org or you can stick the $w variable into the line: Dj$w.trilug.org Should I include that in my Sendmail howto? http://www.trilug.org/~jonc/mailserver Jon === On Fri, 2003-03-28 at 17:14, Jeremy Portzer wrote: > On Fri, 2003-03-28 at 16:42, Turnpike Man wrote: > > oh crappers... and my HELO used to answer properly too... did the sendmail > > update for that security thing do this to me!
