Question 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
