You'll need to create two mailers, one for the Internet and one for
your LAN (replacing the default esmtp mailer). You'll then have to
add some bits to ruleset 0 so that your LAN mailer is used based on
the target machine/domain name being local (probably by setting up a
class using ``C{LOCAL}'' or ``F{LOCAL}''), and the internet mailer is
used for all other domains.
Once you've done this, you can add a ``S='' line to each mailer,
pointing at a ruleset that rewrites the sender address so that it's
from the correct domain.
Don't try to do this stuff unless you know what you're doing ;^P I'd
suggest getting O'Reillys 2nd edition Sendmail book if you want to
figure it all out. It's pretty well written and explains how to do
all this stuff & more.
