I have a couple of questions that I hope someone out there can help me with. I'm setting up a Usenet node on a Sun 3/160 system, running SunOS 3.3. I want to use smail, so that we can use user@domain-type addresses in all our mail. So how do I reconcile the Sun-supplied sendmail.cf with the one that comes with smail? Basically, how do I set things up so that sendmail hands stuff off to smail? And vice versa? I'm using smail 2.5. My second question is more complicated, and it, too, is sendmail-related. We are setting up our site to have the domain "ladc.com". The Sun 3 system is our sole connection to the outside world, and we want it to remain that way. We have a number of machines in-house, and we want to reroute mail to the users on them, and, at the same time, hide the other machines from the outside world (configurations change a lot). So we want to have SMTP and/or UUCP connections to the machines in-house, with a single (at the moment) UUCP connection to uunet. To do this rerouting, I want to have sendmail rewrite the From: addresses (on outgoing mail), and the To: addresses (on incoming mail), such that the mail reaches its intended recipient. For example, if I get mail to "Frank-Mayhar@ladc.com", I want it rewritten as "Frank-Mayhar@local-machine", and forwarded. Similarly, if I get mail to "...!uunet!ladcgw!Frank-Mayhar" (ladcgw is the name of the Sun 3), I want it rewritten the same way ("Frank-Mayhar@local-machine"). There will be entries in /usr/lib/aliases that will indicate that "Frank-Mayhar@local-machine" is really "frank@mysun" (since most of our users get their mail on one machine). Is this possible to do in sendmail? How do I go about it? (I've read Sun's sendmail.cf documentation, and I'm now more confused than when I started, sigh.) Any help, or pointers to a source of information, would be *greatly* appreciated, by me and others. Please reply to my Internet address, if possible, since it goes straight to my work mailbox. Or you can try "known-world!uunet!ladcgw!frank", but it will probably bounce (but maybe not, if I can get things going fast enough). What would be *really* nice, would be the rulesets to do the address rewriting, and an English (as opposed to what's in the Sun manual) explanation. :-) AdTHANKSvance! -- Frank Mayhar UUCP: fmayhar@killer.dallas.tx.us ARPA: Frank-Mayhar%ladc@bco-multics.hbi.honeywell.com USmail: 2116 Nelson Ave. Apt A, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 Phone: (213) 371-3979 (home) (213) 216-6241 (work)
