- I am assuming from this last comment that you don't want to touch
- (much) the sendmail.cf on these client machines. If that is the case,
- you do need to modify them a bit so that all mail for the outside
- world (at least) goes through one or more Mail Hubs which run a
- sendmail.cf that you *are* willing to modify to handle this.
-
- On the Mail Hub(s) you need to:
-
- Have an alias for everyone who might send mail out (since mail
- will come in to user@domain now).
-
- Modify the sendmail.cf to rewrite all mail to
- user@something.domain to be just user@domain. Do this in
- the sendmail.cf mailer rewriting rules for the particular
- mailer.
-
- We've found it best to run the same client sendmail.cf on all clients.
