in either your .mc file or your /etc/sendmail.cf you can
control the information that your mailhost puts in the the
Received: line that it adds to the email message.
so, if you have each virtual host use its own /etc/sendmail.cf
file you can replace the "$j" in the "by $j ($v/$Z)" below
by the hostname you want to appear.
for instance "by alphabet.com ($v/$Z)".
(i dont believe that you can redefine $j on the fly,
someone please check sendmail 2nd ed......)
to get each virtual host to have its own /etc/sendmail.cf,
you will have to run sendmail out fo /etc/inetd.conf
(ouch....performance hit) or have a mail proxy accept the
mail and relay it to the virtual host's sendmail which is
running on a different port.
or use ipfw's divert rule to reroute the packets to sendmail
running on a different port. (thank you archie cobbs ;)
examples from hub.freebsd.org.
hub.mc
define(`confRECEIVED_HEADER', `$?sfrom $s $.$?_($?s$|from $.$_)
$.by $j ($v/$Z)$?r with $r$. id $i$?u
for $u; $|;
$.$b$?g
(envelope-from $g)$.')dnl$|;$.
/etc/sendmail.cf:
HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.$?_($?s$|from $.$_)
$.by $j ($v/$Z)$?r with $r$. id $i$?u
for $u; $|;
$.$b$?g
(envelope-from $g)$.
