Matthew, I actually tried using the generics table from the start, which is what led me to figure out that the root account wasn't getting masqueraded. After figuring that out, I completely took out all entries of the genericstable to see that all acounts but root would be masqueraded, so putting that back into the genericstable won't do any good. I did however just comment out the C{E}root in my .cf file and restarted sendmail, and, alas, it finally is working like I want it to and masquerading the root account. Thanks to everyone for their patience in helping me solve my problem, Ed -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Matthew Seaman Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 6:14 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Default Sendmail install with FreeBSD On Mon, Nov 04, 2002 at 03:16:33AM -0600, KizerSoze wrote: > I have finally been able to get the masquerading setup on my machine so that > mail delivery from local accounts can actually make it to my home system, > but, sendmail DOES NOT masquerade the root account.

By default the root account always used to be added to class {E} --- exposed users, ie. account names that should not be masqueraded. The docs suggest that stopped after sendmail 8.10.x, but a quick glance through /etc/mail/sendmail.cf still reveals: C{E}root and there's no EXPOSED_USER(`root') in my .mc file, so I guess it's still happening. You can use the GENERICSTABLE functionality to rewrite the sender address: works pretty much like MASQUERADE except it matches individual senders rather than domain names. Insert into /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc: FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN(`your.hostname.com')dnl and create a file /etc/mail/genericstable containing: root god-like-being@somewhere.else.com then rebuild your sendmail config and the genericstable.db database etc.: cd /etc/mail make install make restart Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
