Re: [CentOS] root email question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



There is an "exposed user" setting in sendmail.cf whose behaviour can be adjusted by recompiling with sendmail.mc

The relevant settings are here in sendmail.cf

# class E: names that should be exposed as from this host, even if we masquerade
C{E}root

So if you set the machine to masquerade a domain as "domain.com" for example, take out the class C{E}root

Hi all, Ive done this before but the solution alludes me now. Can
someone please remind me how to change the default Redhat behavior of
root email being sent from root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to root@domain. It's
something in sendmail.mc from memory.

From memory, Sendmail will default to user@host if there's no fully
qualified domain name for either localhost or the system's 'base' IP
address in /etc/hosts.

There's probably a more correct Sendmail approach too. Checking
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc

LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl

Looks a likely candidate.

Will.
