Question Sendmail Masquerading
Hi,

I'm trying to get my mails sent from the address user@domain instead of user@hostname.domain. Should be simple masquerading configuration in sendmail config files, but this is where I fall (newbie). The sendmail.cf is not recommended for editing. There should be some kind of .mc file that you edit, then 'compile' and it changes the .cf file.

I don't have sendmail.mc file in /etc/mail so I created one with the following lines that supposed to make my masquerading successful:

MASQUERADE_AS(`alcatel.co.il)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`.alcatel.co.il')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl

But... I don't know how to compile it to sendmail.cf. m4 command is not available. HELP!!! (be specific). Thanks.

NAME

       ftpservers - ftpd virtual hosting configuration specification file

SYNPOSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The file is used to tell which set of virtual domain configuration files that the server should use.  With support, wu-ftpd has the ability
       to use separate configuration files for each virtual domain.

       For a virtual host, configuration files can be placed into a separate virtual domain directory. The directory path and the virtual host	IP
       address	that is to use those configuration files is listed in the file.  The actual configuration files put into the virtual domain direc-
       tory MUST be named as follows:

       virtual domain's access file.

       restrict the accounts that can use the web server."

       SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS support."

       allow or deny usernames access to that virtual server."

       customize conversions available in the virtual domain."

       You do not need to put every file in each of the virtual domain directories.  If you want a set of domains to use  the  master  copy  of  a
       file,  for example, the file, then do not include that file in those virtual domain directories.  In that case the default master copy will
       be used.

       The file names must match those listed above.  If you misspell any of them or name them something else, the server WILL NOT find  them  and
       the master copy of them will be used instead.

   ftpservers File Format
       There are two fields to each entry.

	      For example:

       When an ftp client connects to the server, tries to match the IP address the ftp client connected to with one found in the file.

       If  a  match  is  found	the  path to the specified directory containing the configuration files for that specific domain is returned.  The
       server uses any configuration files in that directory.

       If a match is not found, or an invalid directory path is encountered, default paths to the configuration files are used.  The use of in the
       example above fails the check for a specific directory and the master configuration files will be used.

       Either  the  actual  IP address or a specific hostname can be used to specify the virtual domain.  It is better to specify the actual IP of
       the virtual domain as it reduces the need for a domain lookup and eliminates DNS security related naming issues.
