user@<localmachine-name>

[jad]

Umm, i know this sounds silly, but we have a problem that we've had for a while now and done a work around for it.

when a user sends email to our mail server the email is sent from user@<localmachinename> rather than as user@<our email address>

we currently have a cheat of sed'ing the mail queue to replace the machine name with the proper address, but i'm sure we should be able to set it in sendmail properly

thanks,

Jon

Could you let me know what you have entered in the genericsdomain file and also are you using IMAP or POP3.

Have you configured your email client with the appropriate email address?

my m4 file if that helps ...

i've played with MASQUERADE_AS, MASQUERADE_DOMAIN, MASQUERADE_NAME and FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain) but nothing really seems to fix it


what is the genericsdomain file?
some of them are configured with the full email address &quot;<user>@<host>.co.uk&quot; but most just have &quot;<user>&quot; because that is the default.

on our Solaris machines it also doesn't allow setting of the default reply to address with dtmail.
