Hello, there is a problem when using sendmail to certain destinations, basically the recipient will reject the incoming message because the user@local.domain.com is used as the sender (Return-Path), they would verify local.domain.com is not a valid
DNS record which is true because it is a local machine.
However the "From:" field in the custom header contains a valid address and host in
DNS, let's say popeye@spinach.com.
Why does sendmail use @local.domain.com instead of using @spinach.com? I have a feeling this is solely down to the Return-Path because when I used the command "sendmail -t < header.txt -f popeye@spinach.com" it was received fine but that is abit of a hack fix.
I then tried setting "Return-Path: popeye@spinach.com" in the custom header.txt but it seemed to be keep overriding to user@local.domain.com again. So I proceeded to the look inside sendmail.cf, changed the Return-Path setting:
From:-
Code:
H?P?Return-Path: <$g>
To:-
Code:
H?P?Return-Path: <$f>
Refreshed sendmail, and triggered another message... however this made no difference it seems.
The recipient receives this message in the logs when rejecting:

Here is what we get in our logs, I highlighted the important part:
