Look at sendmail's MASQUERADE_AS, masquerade_envelope, and SMART_HOST. This will allow you to send email through the gateway (providing the SMART_HOST will allow the gateway to relay mail through it. If the mail server belongs to the same ISP as the internet connection they usually do). Beware, however, that this now means you have increased the gateway's vulnerability and consequently the amount of work you have to do to secure and maintain the system. cheers, mike makonnen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
