I have been using Sendmail 5.61 with the IDA 1.28 enhancements on a Sparc
system running 4.03c. Most everything has gone well. Right now, I am trying
to get the From: field rewritten. I have tried the following:
in newaliases.m4
define (NEWALIASES)dnl
in xaliases
foobar@thishost, foobar: < fobbar@globalhost
Then I ran the following in a makefile:
aliases generics: xaliases
xalparse xaliases aliases generics
generics.dir: generics
dbm -R -d generics+ load < generics
mv generics+.dir generics.dir
mv generics+.pag generics.pag
aliases.dir: aliases /usr/lib/newaliases.cf
dbm -d aliases clear
/usr/lib/sendmail -C/usr/lib/newaliases.cf -bi
However, this does not rewrite the From: field. I still get
From: foobar@thishost
rather than
From: foobar@globalhost
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong??

The signature alias should be leftmost on the line.
The xaliases syntax is:
# Signature aliases #
# #
# The format here is: #
# signature, altsign, full.name: alias-list #
# where alias-list is a comma and/or newline-separated list of user #
# names. Each user name may be headed by a '<' and/or '>' with the #
# following meaning: #
# > user -- mail to this sign/full.name is delivered to the user #
# < user -- mail from this user is rewritten with the signature #
# as new sender #
# <> user -- the combination of the above #
# user -- same as '> user' #
I used lines like:
Ed.Anselmo@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu: <> anselmo-ed@cs.yale.edu
Joe.Sitomer@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu: <> joe@mozart.cardiology.ummc.umich.edu
Mike.LeFree@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu: <> mike@brahms.cardiology.ummc.umich.edu
Sandy.Simon@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu: <> sandy@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu
to re-write my From: headers.
