- Hello,
-
- We want to have for the whole University E-mail addresses in the
- form Surname.Name@org.kuleuven.ac.be. A big part of this setup
- works with sendmail+ida and the DNS, the most difficult part is
- to get this kind of generic addresses in the From: line for mail
- send by VM and MVS users.
-
- I see a few possible solutions :
-
- - bring all the mails from VM and MVS to a special SMTPsend on VM.
- This SMTPsend uses a dummy name-server, so that all the mail goes
- to a UNIX sendmail+IDA, where the From: line is rewritten.
-
- - modify the MUA on VM and MVS so that
- * people can define their From: line
- or
- * we maintain a list of userid - From: line pairs and this list is
- used to define the From: line
-
- We use RICE MAIL/MAILB00K on VM and UCLA mail on MVS.
-
- Both solutions are complicated, and are dangerous for loosing mail
- if not well organized.
-
- Anyone has done such a thing ?
