I am using the default freebsd sendmail set up. I don't want to learn
the theory of sendmail - I just want to make a simple change.
I want to send an email from a FreeBSD computer that is on an internal
network called montlan. I am sending the email to another computer,
called cauchy, that is outside of the network. The computer cauchy is
not accepting the email - it complains with the following message:
The original message was received at Sun, 6 Oct 2002 12:01:14 -0500 (CDT)
from triangle@localhost.client.mchsi.com [127.0.0.1]
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<triangle@cauchy.math.missouri.edu>
(reason: 553 5.1.8 <triangle@hub.montlan>... Domain of sender
address triangle@hub.montlan does not exist)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to cauchy.math.missouri.edu.:
>>> MAIL From:<triangle@hub.montlan> SIZE=391
<<< 553 5.1.8 <triangle@hub.montlan>... Domain of sender address
triangle@hub.montlan does not exist
501 5.6.0 Data format error
So somehow I need to tell the sendmail on hub.montlan to advertise the
name xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.client.mchsi.com (which is the true name of the
connection) rather than hub.montlan.
Alternatively, I could tell cauchy to accept emails from hub.montlan
even though the domain does not actually exist.
So how would I make changes to the sendmail configuration to bring about
these changes?
