Re: worng domain name in email header
Hi agin Tony, Thanks for patients! I insert the "ohiocounty.net" into the "sendmail.cw" file and it seems to of taken care of the problem. I got one more question for you. Tony Langdon wrote: Actually, you can define users _not_ to be masqueraded (root, Postmaster, MAILER-DAEMON sometimes are set as not masqueraded). Everyone else will have the masqueraded domain as part of their email address. Are these individual setting at the sendmail config level? -- robert -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Depends on what email address they're going to be using. You indicated you wanted mail to be handled by ohiocounty.net". Unless you have an arrangement with your upstream feed for them to hold your users mail (which I doubt if you're using only smtp), you'd need to setup a MX record for this domain. ohiocounty.net. MX 10 mail I'm not sure if the way you have it is legal, I use the syntax in my example at work (the trailing dot means not to append the default domain). important addresses such as MAILER-DAEMON and root aren't masqueraded (don't want to go impersonating your ISP, do you? :) ).

worng domain name in email header
It's 18 Jun 98 16:13:22, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of worng domain name in email header rw I don't know if this a sendmail problem or network configuration rw problem. rw All mail that goes through my SMPT is referanced as rw (user)@office.ohiocounty.net it is supposed to be rw (user)@ohiocounty.net.

By default, sendmail pulls out the hostname of the machine it's running on and puts it in the from: header. This is a common problem for dialup users who fetch mail from a POP server, or networks where you want mail to go to the domain, not the host. If you use Netscape locally, you can fix it in Netscape. If you use a shell based mail agent (e.g. elm, pine), you can get sendmail to masquerade as any domain you want. In /etc/sendmail.cf, there is a line to configure masquerading. Simply add the desired domain after this in the space provided for masquerading (the line beginning with DM) and remove any leading hash (#) to uncomment the line. DMohiocounty.net Also, you'll have to add ohiocounty.net to /etc/sendmail.cw, if you are running the machine as a mail server for a domain, so incoming mail to ohiocounty.net is treated as local mail.
