[comp.unix.questions] Hiding hostnames from mail

Z00EJR01%AWIUNI11@pucc.princeton.edu ( Ewald Jenisch) (03/27/91)

I'm about to set up mailing in one of our sub-domains. What I want to
end with is the following:

Mail should be adressed to <user>@<domain>, instead of <user>@<host>.

An example:

User 'joe' works at machine 'ws1.edvz.univie.ac.at'. However this fact
should be hidden from the outside world; i.e. somewone should be able
to address mail to "joe@edvz.univie.ac.at" or even "joe@univie.ac.at".
Naturally mail should finally arrive at 'joe' on his machine
'ws1.edvz.univie.ac.at". When joe replies to the mail it should appear
to the recipient as if it came from "joe@edvz.univie.ac.at" not
"joe@ws1.edvz.univie.ac.at".

I've seen numerous examples of such mail-addresses in the past. Does anybody
out there have an idea how to get that working?

Are modifications necessary in the nameserver (MX-records)? Or should
changes be done to the senmail-config?

Thanks in advance for any help,
