Hi All,
The way the sendmail conduit works as it stands is that it sends the email
as username@machinename instead of john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you would
like to spoof it you need to change the sendmail pipline as follows:
| /usr/bin/fold -s -w 72 | /usr/lib/sendmail -t
to:
| /usr/bin/fold -s -w 72 | /usr/lib/sendmail -t -f john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The person that you email to will get the following in the email header:
X-Authentication-Warning: bigmachine.Cool.Summer.COM: jsmith set sender to
john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using -f
but at least when they reply it will go to the correct email address.
Just an FYI for everyone
