Masquerading internal to external network 1

[wild]

Hi folks,<br>
I am using linux as a server to allow internal email and external demand dial email for a small company. I have 2 problems.<br>
1./ How do I get sendmail to stop requesting domain name services.<br>
<br>
2./ Is there a way to catch outgoing email addresses and alias them to local addresses. (e.g. - buck@isp.com converts to buck@localhost ... the buck stops here)<br>
<br>
Answers to these questions will get me up and running.

1. Use a smart host (near the top of sendmail.cf. DS as I remember).<br>
2. I think virtusertable would do it. In the past I've hacked the sendmail.cf rulesets directly (older, HP distributed versions - OpenMail seems to prefer these flavours) . Hacking the cf file seems to be frowned on though, these days.

I fiddled with both virtusertable and other database solutions but couldn't seem to get them to work. Guess I have to recompile sendmail with specific options set?<br>
