Right, in this case Sendmail needs to HELO with a valid hostname to get past my spamtrap (aside: not revealing your internal hostnames is probably a worthy goal, spam not considered). Ideally, the masquerading stuff would do this at a certain level (masquerade_envelope, perhaps?), but for now anyway you have to convince it that its FQDN is different to get the desired behavior. Postfix used to make you set 'myhostname=' just like sendmail does with Dj, but now offers 'smtp_helo_name=' to make the specific HELO/ EHLO case available without overriding the FQDN for other cases. It's a common enough problem with NAT, so maybe sendmail has such an option I just didn't find. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_helo_name -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
