Linn" Subject: sendmail questions Comments: To: info-unix@BRL.MIL To: Multiple recipients of list I-UNIX I would like to hear from folks who feel they have understand how sendmail works. I have a couple of different needs/wants for use of context in the address rewriting rules. By "context", I mean that the recipient address depends on the senders address. 1) Policy around here is that there should be two classes of users: those that have access to off campus resources and those that don't. In terms of mail, this means that the class B users should be able to send mail to anyone on campus but should not be able to send mail to off-campus sites. It is not clear what should be done with mail from off-campus to a class B user, but I suspect my superiors would like to discourage that as well. 2) For the ease of identifying a message as local (and therefore probably of higher priority), I would like to internal mail to have no domain part (i.e., "user" instead of "user@vuse.vanderbilt.edu") *BUT* I would like mail from mailing lists that happens to originate locally to be treated as external mail and keep the domain part intact. Can these (probably irrational) criteria be met with sendmail, and if so, how? Please reply directly to me, and if there is sufficient interest, I will post a summary.
