One other thing I've noticed is that it apparently defaults to only

From my sendmail.mc :
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The above line is from my sendmail.mc and i guess it gives you a
hint on why sendmail defaults to listen to localhost .
As to the original question on this thread . The relative lines
from my sendmail.mc are shown below .
MASQUERADE_AS(`cha.forthnet.gr')dnl
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the domain that sendmail should masquerade to .
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(`local_no_masquerade')dnl
This FEATURE just says that if the mail is to be delivered localy then
don't
masquerade .
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`Magellan.Andromeda.Galaxy.net')dnl
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the original Domain Name
Kind Regards,
Kostas
