| Hi all,
I have a UNIX question related to 'sendmail'. I have a fresh out-of-the-box
Unix box that I installed Solaris 8 on. I have the system set up in our lab
behind a small SMC barricade. I am trying to get 'sendmail' to work but I
am having some difficulties. I am using the machine to relay messages via
a proxy mail server at another location (smtp10.on.aibn.com). I have edited
the '/etc/mail/sendmail.cf' file according to the instructions as listed in
http://www.kempston.net/solaris/configsendmail.html (which is very good).
In the guide, it says to edit the lines immediately following
"SEnvFromSMTP=11" and "SHdrFromSMTP=31" with my email address. When I do
this, it does work. When I do a 'mail dmegyesi@truecontext.com' from the
UNIX box, I correctly get the email listed with 'dmegyesi@truecontext.com'
in the 'From' column. However, this is not what I want. I want the 'From'
address to read "Support" with no @domain. I tried simply putting 'Support'
in the two locations (11 and 31 as above) and redoing the mail command 'mail
dmegyesi@truecontext.com', but when specified with this 'support' address in
the 11 and 31 locations, the email never arrives. Only valid email address
as found on our MS Exchange server (which is our offices mail
server/gateway) can be specified in the 11 and 31 locations.
On the website, it says a bit more down that it is possible to have my real
name appear in the 'From:' header on outgoing mail. This information is
taken by sendmail from the name field in /etc/passwd and can be changed
using the admintool program. What does this mean? Should I make an account
on the UNIX box called 'Support" so that a correct address in the "From"
column can be specified?
Please help as this matter is urgent.
Derek
