Hi,
I've made an alias for sendmail and placed it in my /etc/aliases, ran
newaliases and now the alias works. This alias, core, is to support a
small list working on an ezine. There is now a CNAME for my server as:
peloton: {2} nslookup ezine.freebsd.org
Server: ercax1.coe.montana.edu
Address: 153.90.192.10
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: peloton.physics.montana.edu
Address: 153.90.192.177
Aliases: ezine.freebsd.org
I would like the outgoing mail from the alias to have its From line
look like:
core@ezine.freebsd.org
And the rest of the email leaving here to look like
peloton.physics.montana.edu.
Right now w/ the modifications I've made to sendmail it is opposite that!
If you respond to a list it gives "core@peloton.physics.montana.edu" as
the "To" address and my outgoing mail says I'm at ezine.freebsd.org.
Here's the corrections I've made to /etc/sendmail.cf (yes I've restarted
sendmail after this):
Cwlocalhost
Cwezine.freebsd.org (this is a new modfication)
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
#DM (newly commented out)
DMezine.freebsd.org (newly added)
I know I can add usernames to a CE line to force it to say mail
from me is really coming from peloton and not the ezine address, but
is there a more elegant way to get this to work other than add my
username and all the others' usernames to a CE line?
Can I also get the return address for a reply to the alias to be
core@ezine.freebsd.org (will a reply to work?)?
Thanks for any help in advance - I got lost in the sendmail man and help
pages. :-)
Brett
