To bring things up to date, I was trying to have my domain name tacked
on to the end of the Unix "From " line in outgoing mail messages. It
now appears that I didn't understand a couple of things.
Messages leaving our site have a line like:
From dan Thu Dec 14 13:36:22 1989 remote from asitor
When they are delivered, the From line get changed to:
From asitor!dan Thu Dec 14 13:40:14 1989
What I really wanted to do was have the outgoing line look like:
From dan Thu Dec 14 13:36:22 1989 remote from asitor.AUTOSYS.COM
and on the receipt end
From asitor.AUTOSYS.COM!dan Thu Dec 14 13:40:14 1989
To do this I was looking into the sendmail.cf and smail (v2.5). It
appears that the solution is within smail, but I would like to run it
by the people on the net for comments.
In the file defs.h, change the RFROM macro.
Original:
#define RFROM(frm,now,host) \
"From %s %.24s remote from %s\n",frm,now,host
Suggested improvement:
#define RFROM(frm,now,host) \
"From %s %.24s remote from %s%s\n",frm,now,host,MYDOM
This will accomplish what I am seeking, however, I do not have the
experience to say "Yes, this is the correct solution".
Comments will be appreciated. Thanks.
