- I have been attempting to do the following:
- In VMSmail, addressing a message To: in%username
- (no quotes or host/domain)
-
- Instead of this being translated to: username@localhost.localdomain,
- I would like it to always translate to a particular foreign host.domain.
-
- I have tried setting the official-host-name of my local channel to
- the foreign host, and then adding the local host name as the
- local-host-alias for EVERY channel in the channel/host table.
- This did not work (the FROM address of a local message was always
- assigned to the foreign host/domain) and also seems a bit unelegant,
- if not downright dangerous.
-
- Has anyone done this or have any ideas about how it could be done?
