Hi all,

we're using Version 8.11.6p2 on AIX 5.3.

The subject says what's the problem: When I send an e-mail via
/usr/bin/mail from an AIX-Partition to our internal mail relay, this
mail arrives with a sender address user@host.mydomain.de. We would like
to have user@mydomain.de, i.e. the hostname should not appear in the
sender address.

I'v tried compiling different settings in
/usr/samples/tcpip/sendmail/cf/aixsample.cf (MASQUERADE_AS, etc....)
with no success. Sendmail seems to be tooo complicated for me :-(

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Pete

Edit /etc/sendmail.cf

Rule set 93 & 94 (masquerade)

Replace $j (host.domain) by $m (domain)

!!!Here under are these 2 Rule sets, I putted the modification between
double-quote("$m"). Don't put these double-quote but rather what they
contain!!!
