Hello,
We want to have for the whole University E-mail addresses in the
form Surname.Name@org.kuleuven.ac.be. A big part of this setup
works with sendmail+ida and the DNS, the most difficult part is
to get this kind of generic addresses in the From: line for mail
send by VM and MVS users.
I see a few possible solutions :
- bring all the mails from VM and MVS to a special SMTPsend on VM.
This SMTPsend uses a dummy name-server, so that all the mail goes
to a UNIX sendmail+IDA, where the From: line is rewritten.
- modify the MUA on VM and MVS so that
* people can define their From: line
or
* we maintain a list of userid - From: line pairs and this list is
used to define the From: line
We use RICE MAIL/MAILB00K on VM and UCLA mail on MVS.
Both solutions are complicated, and are dangerous for loosing mail
if not well organized.
Anyone has done such a thing ?
