Thank you very much. This would work if we didn't want to use sendmail.mc - unfortunately my team does want to use the configuration file, and we can't figure out what's keeping masquerade_as from working with Fedora 4 when it worked fine with previous releases, including Red Hat 9. Can anyone shed light on why this happened? <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Kostas Sfakiotakis <kostassf@cha.forthnet.gr> Sent by: fedora-list-bounces@redhat.com 05/04/06 05:52 AM <table border> <tr valign=top> <td bgcolor=white> <div align=center>Please respond to kostassf@cha.forthnet.gr; Please respond to For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@redhat.com></div></table> <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td>For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@redhat.com> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>Re: sendmail problem</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>Greetings Mike , On Wed, 3 May 2006 18:45 , Mike.Kent@indystar.com sent: > > >Hello.

To whom the IP belongs ? To the one named on the second argument . The second argument is the Fully Qualified Domain Name or FQDN . It's the complete name to the machine up to the dot which would represent the ROOOT DNS Servers . The ROOT DNS Servers represent the start ( initial point ) of every host in the internet. The third argument is the allias . The allias is a short name that you use to call your machine . You can have as many alliases as you wish seperated by commas .
