I've been trying to get this going for months. I have several PCs using
UUPC to get mail via a UNIX box that runs SMTP to all other systems. The
addresses from the UUPC systems hit with a From path, as configured in
UUPC of host.domain!user. When sendmail.cf sees this, the =V (uucp hosts) rules that allow me to send mail to these machines are the same ones that disallow me from keeping sendmail from making the them user@host.UUCP, when
in fact I want to make the addresses user@hosts.domain as this is a
resolvable path back to these hosts ( Due again to =V rules). In which
ruleset can I seperate the actions of uucp bound and uucp sourced mail. I
tried to change it right in the S= (sender) rulesets, but sendmail sends
those back through another ruleset 3 & 6 iteration. Any tips?
I've hacked around this in the meantime by only using the domain name
in UUPC's address and letting aliases expand the full address for mail coming
back, but for some reason this also creates some very useless Return-Path
headers, so bounces from the Internet don't come back to the user. I'd like
