- I am by no means a sendmail expert and am seeking advice on a particular
- configuration I would like to achieve:
-
- I have 3 (NeXT) machines on a network, with home directory space and
- /usr/spool/mail shared off the server machine. Let us say the machines
- are called: server, client1, client2
-
- I want to have the server be the mailhost. Now, one user always uses
- client1 and would like to have his/her mail go out with the 'From'
- line as:
-
- From user1@client1
-
- For all the other users, mail will go out with from line:
-
- From user@server
-
- Thus my question is: can sendmail be configured to operate in such a way.
- More generally: can sendmail be configured such that the sender address
- rewriting occurs on a per user basis?
-
- If sendmail cannot do this, are there any other more sophisticated MTA's
- that can do this job?
-
- thanks,
