Hello all,

    Having some problems with Sendmail 8.11.3 and virtual users. I
successfully set up masquerading to allow emails to "username@domain.net"
instead of 'username@machine.domain.net' Unfortunately, if I set my email
address in my MUA (Outlook Express in this example) to username@domain.net,
sendmail responds with:

May 29 21:55:28 freebsd-1 sendmail[739]: f4U4tSL00739: ruleset=check_mail,
arg1=<username@domain.net>, relay=username.domain.net[10.10.50.123],
reject=501 5.1.8 <username@domain.net>... Domain of sender address
username@domain.net does not exist
----- snip

Thus, I am required to enter my email address as
'username@machine.domain.net' in my MUA. How do I fix this?
Also, Ted Mittelstaedt mentions in his book that masquerading should only be
a temporarily measure. What is a better configuration (maybe Ted himself can
answer this one)

Regards,
Sean Knox
