I use sendmail's genericstable feature without any problems. It rewrites the addresses for all my (home network) users as their email heads out the mail gateway. If you can tell us what problems you were having, perhaps we can help you.
genericstable was really easy to get going. Simply put a list of all domains you want addresses rewritten for in /etc/mail/genericsdomain. For example, on the internal side of my network, I use @home.lan addresses. These get rewritten when mail passes through the outgoing mail gateway. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ cat /etc/mail/genericsdomain home.lan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^jeremy /etc/mail/genericstable jeremy [EMAIL PROTECTED] This shows that for any email that comes in with a From address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", it should be rewritten as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". sendmail doesn't use the plain-text genericstable file, however. You need to generate a hashed db file using: `makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable`. HTH. j. -- Jeremy L.

I'm using the cyrus imapd and sendmail as MTA on one machine. This machine is MXed as internal mail server. Internal email is sent as expected but sendmail tries to send external mails with my internal email address. Therefore freemailer like GMX are rejecting this mails because my sender domain is not resolvable. I tried using genericstable feature to rewrite my internal address. I also tried to send my email to my gateway machine that should masquerade emails to come from gmx.net. Both didn't work. If you have any information that may help to solve this please CC it to me because I'm not subcribed yet. Thanks in advance.
