Do you want *all* mail originating from scripts on this machine to have
a "work.de" address, or just mail originating from nagios?
Does this mail need to be sent over the Internet? If so, you will need a
valid envelope sender domain instead of localhost.localdomain. What type
of Internet connection do you have (dialup, always-on, static/dynamic?).
The configuration is best done in sendmail, which will then work for all
programs, not just "mail".
Paul.
It's only a host for Monitoring. There runs "Fujitsu ServerView" and
"nagios" That means "work.de" is enough for all. The script send only
notifications mail to my internal mailserver.
Where can i do this configuration in sendmail??
# yum install sendmail-cf
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change:
dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl
to:
MASQUERADE_AS(`work.de')dnl
If you want to be able to rewrite "nagios" as "boom", you should also
add:
FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl
just below the existing line:
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl
Then create a file /etc/mail/genericstable containing the line:
nagios boom@xxxxxxx
Then run "make -C /etc/mail; service sendmail reload"
I think that should do what you want.
Paul.
wow,
now it works.
sendmail is really tricky. i have found a nice howto to switch to
postfix. I guess it's better for me, to have a postfix on this machine.
There i'm understanding what i'm doing :-))
thx and kind regards
