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
