I sent this message a while ago, but i got a reply from the list software
complaining about implicit destinations.
I tried to make the address as explicit as possible this time .. sorry if
you all get two identical messages ;-)
-------------------------
Howdy all ..
I have the usual internal lan on the 10.10.10.x network, and a masquerading
linux box with a serial ppp connection to the internet. (this serial
connection is over a cablemodem, but that doesnt matter).
I have BIND running on the linux box that handles the 10.10.10.x network as
a "fake" domain called "villa28". This makes my linux box flem.villa28, my
windows box cow.villa28 etc.
Anyway, since this system is online most of the time i thought it would be
a Good Thing to let it handle my mail.
I whipped up a slightly modified version of David's script in his TrinityOs
file to let it masquerade the villa28 domain, and i thought that would be it.
The problem is that since version 8.9.X or something, SMTP servers don't
accept mail from servers whose domain doesnt resolve, and sendmail slaps
the (fake) internal domain on the MAIL FROM: header. Things should go
pretty well if it would use the address of the external interface, or my
dynip address.
I was wondering whether there's a way (there must be .. sendmail has such a
big config file ;-) to change the local hostname or something like that.
I really hope someone can help me with this ...
