- Use the Fully Qualified Domain Names here.
- If you have more hosts, best would be to write the names into a
- file, each on a separate line, and define HIDDENNET like this:
-
- DEFINE(HIDDENNET, LIBDIR/yourfilename)
-
- > DEFINE(HIDDENNETHOST,acadiau.ca)
- use HIDDENDOMAIN instead.
-
- you should also define PSEUDONYMS, and put a MX record for every local
- host into your DNS database, which points to your mailhost. You could use
- the same file for PSEUDONYMS, as for HIDDENNET.
-
- Additionally helpful are GENERICFROM, GENERICENVELOPE and GENERICTO.
- You could use the generics database for more advanced rewritings, like
- replacing the mailbox name with firstname.lastname or something else.
-
- I'm using this to rewrite, even the addresses completly, as our institute
- belongs to two universities, and I want to change each users address
- to the correct university.
- My address for example would be rewritten from
- k2@woodstock.bl.physik.tu-muenchen.de to
- Klaus.Steinberger@Physik.Uni-Muenchen.DE

- Here is my IDA .m4 source:
