Error Mutt/Sendmail Masquerading Problem on AIX 5.3
We are running Unix AIX 5.3 and I have been asked to masquerade the sender name on our email processing.
We have one domain name and many users:
user1@domainname
user2@domainname
user3@domainname

We use mutt/sendmail to do our email processing.

I discovered that using genericstable within sendmail covered this.
So I created a genericstable:
user1 new1@emailaddress
user2 new2@emailaddress
user3 new3@emailaddress

and amended sendmail.cf to take in:
Kgenerics and Ruleset 93

and then started doing some testing.

This works well when using mail:
mail -s "test" deliver@address < /dev/null
If run from user1 the sender address becomes new1@emailaddress

However if run from mutt the result is not what I want:
mutt -s "test" deliver@address < /dev/null
If run from user1 the sender address remains user1@domainname and doesn't become new1@emailaddress.

I can't see where the problem lies as surely mail and mutt must be using sendmail and yet mutt must be ignoring the genericstable.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Many thanks.
