newbie setting up sendmail from address mapping

[deepam]

Hi All,

A question regarding email forwarding using sendmail.

Basically moving from one host to another, so required to set up email server on new server to be able to email forward.

i.e.

emails sent to test@somedomain.com will be sent to my new server (Server A) then server A would forward these emails to external email address someone@hotmail.com

1. So far, somedomain.com mx record points to Server A.

2. Sendmail was installed with webmin.

3. add Feature FEATURE(`virtusertable')dnl to Sendmail M4 Configuration

4. rebuild sendmail configuration

5. restart sendmail

6. added email forwarding in sendmail Address Mappings. i.e. test@somedomain.com to someone@hotmail.com

However, when I check my hotmail inbox where test@somedomain.com is forwarded to,

the to adress is test@intel-install-client.eu.verio.net instead of test@somedomain.com

how can i make it that the to address is the address using the correct domain name and not the server name.

Furthermore, the server will be used to forward emails for several domains as it is a shared server for several clients. Therefore, the to address should be the correct domain where the email was sent.

Any help would be appreicated.

Best regards,
Deepam.

do masquerade in your mc file and m4

MASQUERADE_AS(somedomain.com)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(somedomain.com)dnl

Thanks for your reply.

So if I had 10 domains doing email forwarding then will i need to repeat your code 10 times, so I could masquerade on each domain i.e

MASQUERADE_AS(somedomain.com)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(somedomain.com)dnl


MASQUERADE_AS(anotherdomain.com)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(anotherdomain.com)dnl

MASQUERADE_AS(domain.com)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain.com)dnl

so on....

does it make any difference where I put it in the mc file?

thanks for your help.
