We have a RS6000 running AIX 4.3+. We have applications
that automatically send e-mail to the Internet. I want
recipients to see the mail as coming from an e-mail address
from our known mail server. A user logged on to our backend
AIX will have an Internet address of
joe@rs6000.ourdomain.com. This user has a mailbox in our
Exchange serve as joe.blow@ourdomain.com. When this user
runs the application in the AIX which auto-emails a report
to a recipient in the Internet, I want the "From" address to
read joe.blow@ourdomain.com. Note that the AIX is relaying
to our Exchange server for Internet e-mail. How can I
configure the AIX user so that he will have a "From" address
the same as his Exchange server's address?

Thanks in advance.

Given that your app uses mail and given that the Exchange server does not
overwrite the reply-to field (that should not happen actually) you could
export the wanted mail address from the uers's environment file (ENV on AIX
systems is .kshrc usually) as an alias. alias mail='mail -r
joe.blow@ourdomain.com' should do the trick.

HTH,

Thank you so much.

I just solved a problem like this. I added the entry in the
/etc/sendmail.cf file like below:
DMourdomain.com
And did a refresh of the sendmail daemon
refresh -s sendmail.
This sets the systems masqueraded domain.

<mumbling> Exchange.... (shudder)
