HI,

On my Lan i have an exchange machine which my onlinestore is using to send mail at the moment, however this is the company mail server thus i wish to configure my sendmail server to masquerade as the exchage machine.

In my sendmail.mc file i have the following
Code:
LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl
dnl #
dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional
dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com
dnl #
MASQUERADE_AS(`livestrong.com')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(exchange.livestrong.com)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
dnl MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl

ok....

When i send a test mail from the command line
Code:
mail -v teastaccount@hotmail.com
The address is masquerading as @livestrong.com
however when i look at the mail message in detail
i notice that "Recieved from :" is incorrect, the domain
does not seem to be masquerading.
im getting in the mail message

Code:
Received: from onlinestoretest (onlinestoretest.localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
Thus the mails are getting flagged as spam as the should appear to be coming from the exchange machine

Is this something to do with my /etc/host file??

Any help would be great.

Regards
 
The only thing that seems to be masquerading is the from address.
 
Try it without

Code:
LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl

My forwarder doesn't have one.

 
Do you mean without
Code:
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(exchange.livestrong.com)dnl

Still the same.

Do you think it is something to do with my hostname setup?
or my /etc/sysconfig/network file??
 
Just as I stated.

Remove the first line of the code you provided and try again. It's a forwarder right? You don't want the localhost to try and deliver the mail on the forwarder.

Here's what I run. The access_db feature allows for finer grained controls when relaying.

Code:
FEATURE(relay_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX)dnl
FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`my.domain')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
FEATURE(`nullclient', `mailserver.my.domain')dnl

Have Fun.
