Here are the non-comment lines in the .mc file I used to build a .cf
file a couple of hours ago for 8.9.1. (It's the same .mc file that I
use for 8.8.8, and is intended for hosts that are on an internal network,
which merely send mail to an internal relay ("whistle.com") unless the
destination address mentions the hostname explicitly.):
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`@(#)whistle.mc $Revision: 1.4 $')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
FEATURE(`stickyhost')dnl
FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(use_ct_file)dnl
define(`confCT_FILE', `-o /etc/sendmail.ct')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`whistle.com')dnl
define(`confCHECKPOINT_INTERVAL', 4)dnl
define(`confAUTO_REBUILD', True)dnl
define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `whistle.com')dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
The masquerading is probably overkill, and the confCHECKPOINT_INTERVAL
and confAUTO_REBUILD is there merely because that's what was being
specified when I got here, and I wasn't willing to spend the time to try
to see if they were actually wanted.
In other words, it could probably be specified as:
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`@(#)whistle.mc $Revision: 1.4 $')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
FEATURE(`stickyhost')dnl
FEATURE(use_ct_file)dnl
define(`confCT_FILE', `-o /etc/sendmail.ct')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`whistle.com')dnl
define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `whistle.com')dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
with little change in functionality.
Hope that helps,
david
