 More info, now that I think of it. The mail server is getting the

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 How do I remedy this?

'root' is by default a member of class E in the sendmail config --
that's Exposed users or users who are exempt from masquerading.
Emails from that clas of UID will have the FQDN of the sending host as
the RHS of the e-mail address.

The answer is to add the names of all of the hosts that your smart
host handles mail for to /etc/mail/local-host-names (one per line).

Cheers,

Matthew

How do I have sendmail forward emails from root...

2003-12-17 Thread Michael E. Mercer
Hello peoples,

I've tried quite a few things and just can't seem to get
sendmail to forward emails generated by root processes to
go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. 

I am running 4.9-Stable.

How am I supposed to configure this?

I have added a line to /etc/mail/aliases
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also added to my domain specific .mc configuration file
these lines:
MASQUERADE_AS(`nc.rr.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mmercer.com')
FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-server.nc.rr.com')


Thanks in advance!
Michael

Did you run 'make aliases' to update the database afterwards?
