Hi folks!

After a long time we have finally to get a real true Internet domain.
As the administrator of our network with lots and lots of connected
hosts and one gateway to the world, I would now like to set up our
mail system in an optimal way.

For this I need help. Our configuration:

domain: .ap.sni.de
the network:
	gateway   ---> many many machines

gateway has a hostname of it's own, as do the leaf machines.
All machines are connected via TCP/IP (so SMTP is the mail protocol) and
gateway exchanges mail with it's backbone (holder of the .sni.de domain)
via a leased line also running SMTP.

Now I don't want the hostname to appear in the From:, Reply-To: or
whatever paths. Rather as each leaf-site is situated in one department,
I would like the address to look like:

	user@dept.ap.sni.de

The gateway should then take care of distribution to the appropriate site.

Up til now, we have used a sendmail conf file, that simply forwarded 
mails who's path it didn't understand to the next backbone. This was 
provided by the backbone. All I had to do was set the hostname, so
I never really bothered about what sendmail.cf did.

Now we not only have sendmail connected machines, but many also use
the /&%/(&%/(&% MMDF system found in SCO UNIX.

Who can help me set up this net, so that I learn as much as possible from
it myself. Starting from scratch wouldn't bother me.

Thanks!
Mike
