- We have users on a cc:Mail gateway that are used to sending mail
- addressed to user%node.DNET@dayton.saic.com. The gateway doesn't know how to
- talk DECnet so it passes the message along to dayton.saic.com who talks SMTP
- and DECnet and everything is handled fine.
-
- We are switching over to unix. I want to allow the users on cc:Mail
- to continue using the existing syntax. The new machine 'dayton.saic.com'
- will be running Interactive unix. I need to configure sendmail to allow
- the syntax above and rewrite the address to something like:
-
- user%node.DNET@other.gateway.machine
-
- and pass it along. I tried a few things and I either get
-
- user%node.DNET%dayub.dayton.saic.com@CF_INET_R
-
- or a blank to line. The machine name I am running unix on is dayub.
-
- Is there a good reference to the sendmail rewrites? I have tried the
- following rule:
-
-
- R$*<@$+.DNET>$* $#tcp$@$[dayton.saic.com$]$:$1<@$2.DNET>$3
-
-
- and it gives me the CF_INET_R at the end. If I comment out the CF_INET_R then
- it has an error parsing the header.
-
- What I want is the following:
-
- user%node.dnet => user%node.dnet@dayton.saic.com
- user@node.dnet => user%node.dnet@dayton.saic.com
- user%node.dnet@dayub.dayton.saic.com => user%node.dnet@dayton.saic.com
-
-
- Anyone who can help? Also, can I manually check the rewrite rules? Also
- can I somehow examine what line is being fed to sendmail before parsing?
