sendmail masquerading on AIX.
Hello all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to change the "received from" address parameter for outgoing mails from an AIX server. I tried using the [mail -r] option to specify the "reply-to" address, still my relay server rejects the mails as the "received from" address still contains [root@localhost].
I know, this can be done by sendmail masquerading, however I'm not sure how to configure this on AIX - though I've done it on Linux regenerating the ~/sendmail.cf file from ~/sendmail.mc using m4 utility.
Could anyone amongst you, help me configure masquerading on AIX please?
Thanks,
-- Souvik

Hi,
I've looked through the posts here and tried everything and cannot get sendmail to work properly. The server only needs to send and not receive mail. I need it to be routed through an open relay which has ip address of 10.126.35.8.

local.users
local.users(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual local.users(4)
NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.
DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for
a description of other local users.
You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.
A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.
The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line.
Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line.
After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: #
/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.
# Another comment. mariah # Another comment.
carey # Leading blanks are acceptable.
FILES
Specifies the path name for the file.
