Thanks for your reply!

Basically, here is my situation.

We already have an registered MX record for our Exchange server. No problems exist sending and receiving mails with the Exchange server.

Recently, we had to implement a UNIX server with support to our SAP application. When transactions are made with the SAP application, it sends out an e-mail confirmation to the client. This is all well and fine, except that some of our client's mail servers are rejecting e-mails coming from this UNIX server because it does not have a registered MX record on the internet. The solution that I've come up with is to route all the mails sending out from the UNIX server to our working Exchange server so that our client's mail server would accept the mails.

Here's a solution that I've found. But will this mask just the text level or the MX record level? If it's the MX record level, then I guess my problem is solved. Can someone confirm if this will solve my problem?

Thanks,

"Using the m4 macros, use:

MASQUERADE_AS(my.dom.ain)

This will cause all addresses to be sent out as being from the
indicated domain.

On your mailhub/mailhost/Domain Mail eXchanger, you may need to
add "my.dom.ain" to the sendmail.cw file or the "Cwhost.my.dom.ain"
line in the sendmail.cf file.

If you're using version 8.7 sendmail, and you want to hide this
information in the envelope as well as the headers, use:

FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)"

DUMP_SOCKDFR(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   DUMP_SOCKDFR(8)

NAME
dump_sockdfr - Display contents of frozen route file for SOCKS server SYNOPSIS
dump_sockdfr [infile] DESCRIPTION
dump_sockdfr reads in a frozen route file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of its contents on the standard output. The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fr is assumed. The frozen route file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially the memory image of the parsed route file. Using the frozen route file can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents. When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen route file /etc/sockd.fr first. If that file is not found, it then tries to use the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen version of a previous route file.
