- We are trying to setup mail servers and name servers such that all mail
- sent out via the Internet will show the address of each user as in the
- domain erenj.com. Internally we are connecting a number of sites together
- which do not have Internet access. For that internal environment, we want
- to be able to utilize a different naming structure. E.g. the internal name
- would be based on the following convention:
-
- <user>@<machine>.<organization>.<geographic region>.<company>.com
-
- We want all machines machines to point to a domain based on this latter
- convention, but want all mail to go out under the erenj.com domain.
-
- I have heard that some mailers incorrectly use information contained in the
- From: part of the message to establish a return address. Although we could
- rewrite the information in the address portion of the message, if this
- situation exists, we will have a problem with messages which are replied to
- using a <company>.com domain which is not accessible via the Internet.
