Hello,
I use sendmail's User Database and can't get sendmailconfig to
generate a sendmail.cf file that works correctly (translates my
outgoing mail headers to look like they are coming from a
reachable email address).
Has anyone got this working using sendmail 8.9? If so, how?
What do you put in your sendmail.mc file?
I have an old sendmail.cf file that provides working translation
(but waht am I missing out on by using it?). It contains:
O UserDatabaseSpec=/etc/mail/users.db
where /etc/mail/users.db is created using:
# makemap btree /etc/mail/users.db < /etc/mail/userdb
on a file /etc/mail/userdb that looks like:
-cut-
rhogee:mailname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:maildrop rhogee
-cut-
The new sendmail.cf generated by sendmailconfig also has the
"O UserDatabaseSpec=/etc/mail/users.db" line, has other diff's
which appear to break userdb behaviour.
A test messsage received using my old sendmail.cf file looks
like:

Using the new (broken) sendmail.cf yields:

Note that the `From:' line contains an unreachable (behind the

my host mixing.
Any ideas?
