What configuration should be done to /etc/sendmail.cf to
make the following changes?
1) send to uppercase or mixed case addresses.
2) What is the equivalent of the v5 OK ALL line?
3) How to make the from line say From: user@domain
(From - the envelope from line, and From: - the header from line)
4) Explain the line:
\#Cw localhost $w $?m$w.$m$. YourHostAliases
1) Add u to Mlocal line
Changed from
Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@mn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
to
Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMAw5u:/|@mn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
2) At v4.2 the MX capabilities are automatically turned on. There
is not configuration to be done in sendmail.cf.
3) user@domain use the masquerade macro, DM.
This will change the From: line (the header from line).
Uncommenting ruleset S94 in the sendmail.cf file changes the From line
for the envelope to equal the header from line which is altered with
the masquerade macro.
4) The line:
Cw localhost $w $?m$w.$m$. YourHostAliases
Cw determines for what addresses this machine can accept mail.
(i.e. Does whatever is after the @ appear here? If so, deliver
the mail to the user on this system.)
$w = accept mail for user@hostname
$?m = if the domain name is defined, ($? = if) m = domain name
$w.$m - then accept mail for user@hostname.domain_name
$. = end if
In other words, if I am on a machine named jupiter, in domain
test.com, the line
Cw localhost $w $?m$w.$m$. test.com bozo.edu
means that if mail arrives on this machine for
user@jupiter, user@jupiter.test.com, user@test.com, user@bozo.edu
the machine will accept it.
