Steve, and anyone else who wants to use a standard Sun sendmail, rather
than the IDA versions. (Available from Brunel and STL)
This is one for your localise.sh
Define a map eg Y for the reverse YP
DYmail.byaddr
Then as the first line in ruleset 4
R$-@$* $:${Y$1@$2$}
This will only affect headers, since transport addresses are still in <>
and will fix up for every delivery channel
There is a possible "catch" in that it is usual in uk-sendmail for the
domain component to be the cannonical domain by this stage --- you might
need to load up:
id: id@host
f.u.llname: id@domain
to get the (reverse) mapping you want to achieve. You can check by running
test mode, for rules 3,1,20,4 and looking at what is passed in to 4
Short plug: I have explicit rules in a modified uk-sendmail, both for this
and for MX based routing, with a default if no MX record is found. FTAM or
Niftp to stl, ANON/guest login, file sendmail.cf/UK2.1.stc.tar.Z
