Sendmail - Masquerading and headers

[TheEdge]

G'Day,

Running FedoraCore 2 and Sendmail (installed following: http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/lin...m#_Toc74412702) when I send a message from a Windows machine via my Fedora box I see the following: (xxxx to protect the innocent)

Received: from unknown (HELO localhost.localdomain) (xxx.xxx.57.78)
by xxxx.xxxx.net.au with SMTP; 5 Sep 2004 02:42:07 -0000
Received: from HOMER (homer.local [192.168.40.50] (may be forged))
by localhost.localdomain (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i852dl5N000670
for <test@mailinator.com>; Sun, 5 Sep 2004 12:39:47 +1000
Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2004 12:39:47 +1000
Message-Id: <200409050239.i852dl5N000670@localhost.localdomain >
From: <xxx@xxxx.com>
To: <xxxx@xxxx.com>

My internal domain is ".local"

I dont want to see anything referring to localhost.localdomain / .local / 192.168.xxx.xxx in the headers. Now I thought that the following options in my sendmail.cf would prevent that, but they do not:

MASQUERADE_AS(`xxxx.com')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(local)dnl

Can anybody shed any light on this for me?

TIA

I'm having the same kind of problem !!!
I think it's something we have to configure in the db files ...

any update ?

Yes. Kinda. I changed from SendMail to PostFix and:

- Have plain text config files
- Easier to configure and maintain
- Was able to solve my header problem in no time at all
