#CL root
#C{E}root

so that the masquerading works for root too
Thanks for the reply, but what would that do? Is there any disadvantages to using masquerading? Would it be bad if there is no sendmail.mc file?

you don't really need the mc file, sendmail make generates the cf file from the mc file

you could try to add these lines manually to sendmail.cf


Code:
#CL root
#C{E}root
C{w}localhost.localdomain
C{M}local.ourdomain.com 
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMourdomain.com

but editing the cf file manually may not work when doing big changes like that

I have not tried this yet but I will do, just need to get access to the sendmail.cf (it is restricted to certain privileges). I take it there is no way to get the sender address the same as what is set for the "From:" field?

Is there a way to masquerade on specific ID's instead of all outgoing mail?

this can be done with a genericstable

Code:
FEATURE(generics_entire_domain)
FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')
GENERICS_DOMAIN(`hostname.domain.local')

with this method, you can specify any emailsubstitution

an entry can look like:

apache appuser@external.domain

Code:
makemap -v hash genericstable < genericstable

but you don't have the mc file, so probably you have to install additional sendmail packages, I can't tell you how the final .cf file looks like with this changes
