Hi,

I'm trying to get sendmail to do something nice for me.  The machine in
question is part of a firewall, and sendmail needs to rewrite addresses
on the way out, and forward mail to other machines on the way in.  The
O'Reilly book isn't much help to me at the moment, since the rulesets
are different.  Perhaps someone has done this before and can offer wisdom.

The symptoms?  Hundreds of them.  Lets see, well mail is returned before
being forwarded into the interior network (user unknown).  I don't want
aliases for accounts on this machine, just dump the mail to someone more
knowledgeable.

Having that working would make me feel much better.

Next, I'm having trouble rewriting the addresses on the way out.  I'm
thinking ruleset 31 here, perhaps:

R$+@R+		$1@$w

or something close.  But the address either doesn't get rewritten, or
gets changed into something silly (two domains for example).  I've been
at this for a while, so I can't remember what I did there.

Can somebody offer some suggestions?  Feel free to mail to this account,
its in another domain :-)

Jon Doran
