sendmail and outgoing name

[pupu]

Hello,
I need to tell sendmail to use defined name while talking to remote servers (while sending 'MAIL FROM:'). I've tried 'Djmydomain.com', but it wasn't doing the right thing. Thanks!

If you want ALL mail that goes out from you server to have the same domain in the From: line. Add this to your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file:

MASQUERADE_AS('mydomain.com')

Then rebuild sendmail.cf:

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

I hope I understood the question.

Nope. It isn't what I need... This machine is in DMZ and all I want is to send cron outputs etc from it. The problem is that there is mail server in this DMZ that only accepts mail from existing domains. I don't want to add these machines into DNS; they don't have public IPs and shouldn't be accessible from outside DMZ. So, I need that these servers will send 'MAIL FROM: <root@domain.com>' instead of 'MAIL FROM: <root@machine.domain.com>'. Masquerade changes only headers...

Hi,

There's a sendmail forum on TekTips - it'll be worth asking there too.

What do you mean &quot;Masquerade changes only headers...&quot;?? What else do you want to change??
You can fool sendmail into thinking you're on a different network than you really are...

I want to change 'MAIL FROM:' part of SMTP communication, not mail headers.
