Matthew,
Thanks for the help. I am happy to say that I am 90% done with what I am
trying to accomplish and I must say that sendmail is one big Haus, but, I
don't have one last hurdle to get over.
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. I'd like this one
masqueraded so I can receive all the daily/weekly/monthly emails.
Does anyone know how to tell sendmail to also masquerade the root
account....every other account I try gets masqueraded BUT the root account.
Thanks,
Ed

Look at /var/run/sendmail.pid --- unusually for most daemons it
records not just the PID but also the command line used to start the
process:
# cat /var/run/sendmail.pid
243
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30m
Now, if there is a '-C /some/file.cf' flag there, then that's the .cf
file you're using. Otherwise you're going to be using the compiled in
default, which for the MTA process is /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
The same thing holds for the MSP (mail submission process) sendmail
instance, but using different files. The PID file is in
/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid:
# cat /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid
124
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m
and in this case, the corresponding default config file is
/etc/mail/submit.cf
Default locations of .cf and similar files are documented in
sendmail(8) and /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README, although you have to
hunt about in the file to find all the details of the MSP stuff.
Cheers,
Matthew
