The remote MTA that receives the message knows nothing about the machine called ``obygden'' and rejects the message. One way to make this work is to use address-rewriting: 1. Start by adding the following to your ``/etc/mail/obygden.mc'' file: FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(generics_entire_domain) FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable') GENERICS_DOMAIN(`localdomain.net') Where ``localdomain.net'' is the local domain of ``obygden''. 2. Then in a file called ``genericstable'' in /etc/mail, put the following: ulf@obygden ulfma629@student.liu.se ulf@obygden.localdomain.net ulfma629@student.liu.se 3. Build a genericstable.db file and rebuild sendmail.cf: # cd /etc/mail # make # make install 4. Restart Sendmail: # cd /etc/mail # make restart You should be set to go. Now the addresses the user ``ulf'' uses locally will be rewritten by Sendmail to real addresses on their way out and the receiving SMART_HOST/MTA will be happy to forward the messages to their destination. - Giorgos
