i want to use one of my existing dial-up email domains as my sender domain when i send mail from by BSD box.

The reason i need to do this is because some mail servers will only accept mail from domains that it can look up. using my existing (redigistered) mail domain the look up should return sucessfull, and thus accept may mail

I am too interested . I know in Linux sendmail is exists a file named /etc/mail/genericstable where you can map the unix user "ixu" to "msu@domain" user. But I want this mechanism on my AIX box ...
 
on our AIX box, i set the DwYourHostName in /etc/sendmail.cf to Dwmydomain.com , then all mail from the box is from user@mydomain.com.

hope that help
