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.

hostname

HOSTNAME(5)							     hostname							       HOSTNAME(5)

NAME

       hostname - Local hostname configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/hostname file configures the name of the local system that is set during boot using the sethostname(2) system call. It should
       contain a single newline-terminated hostname string. The hostname may be a free-form string up to 64 characters in length; however, it is
       recommended that it consists only of 7-bit ASCII lower-case characters and no spaces or dots, and limits itself to the format allowed for
       DNS domain name labels, even though this is not a strict requirement.

       Depending on the operating system, other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the hostname as well, however only as
       fallback.

       You may use hostnamectl(1) to change the value of this file from the command line.

HISTORY

       The simple configuration file format of /etc/hostname originates from Debian GNU/Linux.

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), sethostname(2), hostname(1), hostname(7), machine-id(5), machine-info(5), hostnamectl(1), systemd-hostnamed.service(8)
