Re: [gentoo-user] configuring postfix to masquerade the address

2003-02-20 Thread David Mallwitz 
From the Postfix config file in /etc/postfix/main.cf:

# SENDING MAIL
#
# The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted
# mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname,
# which is fine for small sites.  If you run a domain with multiple
# machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up
# a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to
# [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
#myorigin = $myhostname
myorigin = $mydomain

So, you need to set the vars mydomain and myorigin appropriately.

My Linux box is connected to the internet by a

which provides the email address

	[EMAIL PROTECTED]

to me. My hostname is gentoo.darling.org, but
it is not a valid name (not seen outside of
my local network).

I want the messages I sent from my box using
the email address

	[EMAIL PROTECTED]

seen as if it came from

	[EMAIL PROTECTED]

How should postfix be configured to achieve
that?

First edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add at the botttom:
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical

then make the file /etc/postfix/sender_canonical, containing:
root [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

( i do this user-wide so that different users get different mailadresses)

then do:
# postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical

and then do:
# postfix check
# postfix reload

That did the trick for me.

That also works for me. Thanks. Now I am already sending this
message on the gentoo system, with postfix masquerading
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as [EMAIL PROTECTED],
as can be seen.
