Full Discussion: Sendmail "from" is not from the userID sending
Operating Systems AIX Sendmail "from" is not from the userID sending Post 302954635 by LCarpenter on Wednesday 9th of September 2015 01:12:13 PM

Sendmail "from" is not from the userID sending
On one of my servers (AIX 7.1 sendmail=V10/Berkeley) When I login and sudo su to a serviceID and send a test email, the from header shows as being from my loginID and not the serviceID. I have a second server (AIX 6.1 sendmail=V9/Berkeley) where following the same steps the email head has the service ID as the "from:" info. I have compared the sendmail.cf files for both servers and have attempted to mitigate the differences (setting local host on the V10 server). I also attempted to insert a couple of lines from the V9 file into the V10 file that were not present but sendmail didn't like the older syntax.
code added:
Code:
# Added for AIX the next 2 lines
R</C=$+>                $@<@$j.>:/C=$1
R/C=$+<@$+>             $@<@$j.>:/C=$1
