dsl and sendmail

Thu Jan 4 16:43:06 EST 2001

Please do; I would be interested in seeing what you got.  I do use the
MASQUERADE_AS option to "hide" my local machine name but when it comes back
in, Sendmail looks for that machine name or it ins up trying to send it back
out; a mail loop would result but my virtual host's mail server catches that
and stops it in its tracks.

I think you might want to look at the masqurade option.  I have done what
you are wanting to do; it does work.

Also, I can send you my top-level m4 file if you want.

I've spent considerable with the M4 macros and the creation of sendmail.cf
files with my slackware 7.1 settup and very little is said directly about
aliasing of incoming e-mail addresses.  I'll take a look at sendmail.org in
case they have something.  I remember reading about some database stuff but
it wasn't clear to me.  I think it was actually related to a hash table or
such but can't figure out how to build it.

If you have redhat installed, you want to make sure you have the sendmail-cf
rpm loaded.  Under /usr/lib/sendmail-cf(?) there are some sendmail m4
macros.  Use these to build a custom sendmail.cf file.  If you go to
sendmail.org, there is complete documentation on these macros and how to
build a sendmail.cf file.

I would like to jump in here with another sendmail question though not
dealing with DSL yet.

I have a machine, lnx1 configured to use my domain, holmesgrown.com; thus my
machine address would be lnx1.holmesgrown.com.  When I have mail coming in
to me, I use an e-mail address such as steve at holmesgrown.com.  Notice that
lnx1 is removed.  How do I configure sendmail on my machine to handle the
incoming mail?  What I've been doing lately is to use procmail and filter
all mail I pop down with fetchmail and resend it to local users on my lnx1
box.  I would like to find a cleaner way to do this.  I think I need to do
something with aliases for sendmail or set up a sendmail DBM file or
something.  Any ideas on how best to do this?

as root do a "sendmail -q -v" and see what you get.  You should get some
kind of error.  Let me know what that is.

Hi gang.  I apologize for this off-topic message in advance but I'm at a
loss as to what the problem could be.  Yesterday I switched from using my
rr.com cable 
modem to earthlink dsl.  I've 
installed roaring penguin and have successfully connected to the net.  I can
surf just fine now.  The problem is if I try to send mail through my Linux
box 
sendmail is not sending any mail and this started when I switched from using
the road runner to the dsl.  The only thing I can think of is that because
the dsl 
connection uses ppp0 instead of eth0 that might have something to do with
it, but I can't put my finger on it.  I'm using slackware 7.0 with some
ugraded 
packages to 7.1.  As I stated, this worked before and still does if I switch
to the road runner cable modem but not with the ppp0 interface using dsl.

Any ideas?  I'm still using the default sendmail.cf which came with
slcakware.  I've nothad to modify it before.  I've also kept my
gallegos.asmodean.net name on 
the linux box which is how it was setup for rr.com and that part has not
changed.

Thanks.
