Simple, non-elegant method:
Turn off 'sendmail' on the Solaris system. You don't need 'sendmail'
running as a daemon if all you want to do is to just send mail. Read the
sendmail book to find what configuration file to change so that your
Solaris system uses the smtp server in the DMZ as its default SMTP host.
This is ugly but it does work. Sorry I don't remember the exact
configuration file to change.

Subject: Hiding my Solaris host in mail headers
I've currently got some consultants setting up my Solaris box to enable me
to send mail to our company mail server for sending out to the internet. At
the moment the way that they have configured it brings up the host name
and the current user id in the mail headers before passing to my mail
server,
and obviously I would rather hide these. The headers look like:
Received from user@localhost (8.8.8+Solaris/8.8.8) by host.domain.com
where host.domain.com is the name assigned to the Solaris box in it's
configuration.
The Solaris box is inside my firewall, and the SMTP mail server is in my
"dmz", so I'd rather have the headers look like the Solaris box is just
another
PC mail client on my LAN (which do not add Received headers themselves).
Can anyone give me pointers on the configuration of sendmail (I believe
this
is what they are using) on my Solaris box so that it does not create
headers
in the message before passing to my SMTP mail server? I have no Unix
experience which is why consultants are setting it up (and also because
they own the box, we rent it off them along with the application software
we
have running on the system).
