I've tried the MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') before and I tried again and it still comes up with the server domain name in the from section. I also tried making the following changes in <a href="http://sendmail.mc">sendmail.mc </a>: - changed: dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(<a href="http://mydomainalias.com">mydomainalias.com</a>)dnl to: MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(host.domain)dnl - changed: dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl to: FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl The result is still the same. I can see the server name in the from address. I don't know if it matters, but I have the /etc/hosts file where I put the ip address of the server and the name of the server. Should that be changed or removed from that file? I also tried the mail -s subject -v dest_email@address and the masquerade name does not show up at all. I have been doing the make -C /etc/mail every time I make a change. (Just in case you thought I forgot to do that.) Also, I don't know how to get it to trust apache. I've been doing all of my tests at the command line. I still can't mail through apache. ---------------------------- <div> On 11/2/06, Les Mikesell <<a href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Thu, 2006-11-02 at 18:04, jones yeates wrote: > Hi, > > I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this.

If you set: define(`SMART_HOST',`your.forwarding.server') in <a href="http://sendmail.mc">sendmail.mc</a> it will forward outbound messages through the designated server, and MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') will rewrite the headers on outbound mail to the specified name. You should be able to see the messages logged in /var/log/maillog - if the web app is handing them to sendmail. -- Les Mikesell <a href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com </a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org">http://www.k12os.org</a>> </blockquote></div>
