Hello there,

We need to change the sendmail.cf to send different domain name instead of abc@hostname.domain.com

I have checked every where but found some info but not clear

Need help.

Thanks

The key is to set the DM macro in the sendmail.cf file

1. who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)

DM
I did this a long time ago, but here's what I did (AIX 4.2 timeframe)

Example sendmail.cf changes and results
The following describes a set of steps that I took to test the changing of outgoing mail addresses at AIX 4.2.

Added line
DMlegis.pa.us.gov
to sendmail.cf after comment

1. who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading)

Saved changes
Refreshed sendmail with
refresh -s sendmail
.
Send mail from user lab1 on host chemhost.ibm.com to user test on host fungus.dfw.ibm.com
Header of message received was:
From: lab1@legis.pa.us.gov
Mail header still contains:
From lab1@chemhost.ibm.com at start of the message, but reply goes to
lab1@legis.pa.us.gov

Not sure this is still the way it works, but probably so, check the Sendmail book from O'Reilly, or try sendmail.org.

You solved my problem.

I have one more question, if I want to include my email instead of my user-id, how can I do that.

like I have my unix user-id is puna@hostname.domain.com

but my real email is popeye@domain.com by following your instruction I fixed @domain.com but how can I replace puna with popeye??

Thanks again for your help.
