I want a very very simple, dumb (perhaps retarded) sendmail.cf file that will take ALL mail sent from a machine ( say machine-STUPID ) and give it to a machine called machine-SMART. I want the mail that leaves machine-SMART to actually leave machine-SMART as if it was sent by someone who was logged into machine-SMART.... so, if you pretend that one machine is machine_STUPID.hereville.edu and the other is machine_SMART.hereville.edu and a user uses mail to send mail while on machine_STUPID, then the mail will really get sent to machine_SMART where it is RESENT so that the world thinks it is coming directly from user@machine_SMART.hereville.edu So, all the complicated sendmail stuff will be in the sendmail.cf file on machine_SMART, but what should be in the sendmail.cf for machine_STUPID? i'm thinking that something as short as the following should be all that is required! does anyone have any suggestions? # official host domain DDhereville.edu # hostname for this site Dwmachine_STUPID # ST-Mail relay DGmachine_SMART.hereville.edu ----------------------------------------------------------- Shawn E.
