Hi, I have several machines behind a firewall. Let's say they are named cam1,cam2,cam3,cam4 with addresses 192.168.1.[2-5] with a firewall machine at 192.168.1.1 having 2 eth interfaces. The firewall also does ip masquerading. I want to be able to send mail from the cam? machines with the firewall machine acting as a smart host. I tried using the current slink sendmailconfig which asks for smart host and masquerading etc. The problem is that when these machines boot sendmail insists on using dns to look up itself. But is has no real address so it takes a while to timeout.
So I tried following the directions and I have tried messing with $j in sendmail.cf but it still does not work. Can someone tell me what sendmail.mc should look like for this configuration. I suspect it is a common enough config. thanks a million as usual, Stuart
