Thank you very much. This would work if we didn't want to use sendmail.mc - unfortunately my team does want to use the configuration file, and we can't figure out what's keeping masquerade_as from working with Fedora 4 when it worked fine with previous releases, including Red Hat 9. Can anyone shed light on why this happened?

Well as i recall when i needed to do whatever you did instead of
messing with sendmail.mc i did the following things
1 . modified /etc/sysconfig/network to say :
HOSTNAME=VOODOO.MASTER.CO.ORG
2. modified /etc/hosts to read
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ; THIS IS MANDATORY
127.0.0.1 VOODOO.MASTER.CO.ORG
then i restarted the network , so it would read the changes
( service network restart )
and that did the work .

This is wrong , if i understand you correctly this should say
$w=ini-wf ; Everything up to the first dot.

Well am not 100 % certain but i think that the above line should read
MASQUERADE_AS(`ini-wf.indystar.com')dnl
>
>FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
>
>FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
>
>MASQUERADE_DOMAIN('localhost')dnl

>MASQUERADE_DOMAIN('localhost.localdomain')dnl

>MASQUERADE_DOMAIN('starnews.com')dnl

>MASQUERADE_DOMAIN('ini-wf')dnl
>

>The top line of /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1
> ini-wf localhost.localdomain localhost
for the /etc/hosts file , either you mistyped or you mean
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 ini-wf.indystar.com ini-wf
In the above lines the first argument is the IP .
To whom the IP belongs ?
To the one named on the second argument .
The second argument is the Fully Qualified Domain Name or
FQDN . It's the complete name to the machine up to the dot which
would represent the ROOOT DNS Servers . The ROOT DNS Servers represent the
start ( initial point ) of every host in the internet.
The third argument is the allias .
The allias is a short name that you use to call your machine .
You can have as many alliases as you wish seperated by commas .
Kind Regards,
Kostas
