Hi all,

I have a hopefully simple sendmail question regarding masquerading.  I have a
two computer lan in my room, one of which acts as a gateway running natd to my
sole connection to the outside world.  I have a domain name registered, and
want to my mail to come from joe@foo.bar instead of joe@machine.foo.bar,
especially since my non-gateway machines don't have their names registered in
DNS.  Now, I have a cname for the gateway machine of mail.foo.bar (since it is
my designated mail server) and an mx record foo.bar that points to
mail.foo.bar.  I've also modified sendmail as follows:

- set DM to DMfoo.bar
- set DR to DRmail.foo.bar
- set DH to DHmail.foo.bar

On the internal machine I've also set DS to DSmail.foo.bar.  I've also got the
following in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw on the mail server:

foo.bar
machine1.foo.bar
machine2.foo.bar

Now, everything seems to work fine for the most part.  Now, if I run the
following command on the internal machine:

> cat | sendmail me
To: me
From: me
Subject: test

blah

.
>

Then sendmail changes the From address to me@foo.bar and the To address and
ReturnPath to me@machine.foo.bar.  I also cannot run send-pr from my internal
machine because mail delivery dies with this error:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to hub.freebsd.org.:
>>> MAIL From:<me@machine.foo.bar> SIZE=2183
<<< 451 <me@machine.foo.bar>... Domain does not resolve
FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org... Deferred: 451 <me@machine.foo.bar>...
Domain does not resolve
Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old

Does anyone know what else I need to configure?  I'd really like to be
able to use send-pr as I've a few to submit, including a patch or two. :)
Thanks.
