Has anyone tried running with a a sendmail.cf that does NO rewriting at all? I'm thinking of a config that does this for destination addresses: site!stuff Give to UUCP relay dom.ain!stuff Rewrite as stuff@dom.ain and continue simple@dom.ain If dom.ain is in class L, do local delivery, otherwise, send it to dom.ain for delivery stuff@dom.ain Give to to dom.ain for delivery Recipient addresses: site!stuff Don't touch dom.ain!stuff Don't touch simple Add "@myhost.domain" Basically get rid of ALL the crap in Rules 0 and 3, at the cost of giving up route-addresses. Comments? /rich $alz -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.

The only header munging is adding our domain if a domain is missing. The drawback: We can't use rmail. Our (Ultrix 1.2) rmail insists on doing its own header pre-munging. But luckily we don't need rmail if we don't use bang paths. Indeed rmails only purpose is to patch bang paths in the header. We can do without and call sendmail directly (through a shell script preventing our uucp peers to call sendmail with switches). Here comes our sendmail.cf. To save space, i deleted the options list. I did include the complete rulesets and mailer definitions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Local names # # our full domain name Djramz.uucp # gateway DGinfbs # # Ruleset 0 -- Select mailer to be used # S0 # add subdomain routing here. for example # R$*@subdomain.$j $#mailtosubdomain # local mail R~$-@$j $#binmail$:$1 local mail - no aliasing R$-@$j $#local$:$1 local mail # reject everything else with our domain-extension R$*@$*$j $#error$:Subdomain Unknown <$1@$2$j> # everything else goes to external mail connection R$+ $#smuucp$@$G$:$1 external domains to smart uucp gateway S1 S2 # are empty # # Ruleset 3 -- Name Canonicalisation # S3 R$*<$*>$* $:$2 basic RFC 822 parsing ( '... <adr>' ) # Our Ultrix 'Mail' generates 'user@host', not # 'user@host.domain' : R$+@$w $1@$j Expand our host address to our domain address R$+@$+ $@$1@$2 Return if domain address R$+!$+ $@$1!$2 Return if bang path R$+ $@$1@$j Else add our domain S4 # is empty # # The Mailers # # Local and Program Mailer specification # Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=rlsmnFDuh, S=11, R=11, A=mail -d $u Mbinmail, P=/bin/mail, F=rlsmnFDuh, S=11, R=11, A=mail -d $u Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=nlsFDMR, S=11, R=11, A=sh -c $u # # The important thing here is to keep a valid reply path!
