This document contains information on rewriting your mail header and mail envelope through sendmail for mailing through your ISP. You should still read the sendmail docs and Sendmail-Offline howto.

If you have questions or comments about this document, please feel free to contact me by email at <philip DOT tellis AT gmail DOT com>.
Please, do not ask me questions about sendmail, m4 or sendmail.cf. Do not ask me questions about receiving mail.
You connect to your ISP to send and receive mail. You have an email account with another email service provider (not your ISP). You want outgoing mails to appear to come from your other account, but you want to use your ISP's mail gateway to send the mail.
You must use your ISP's mail gateway, because you are not permanently connected to the Internet. Your ISP does not allow relay - i.e. only mail coming from or going to an email address in your ISP's domain will be allowed through their gateway.
You also want that mails sent out from the system do not have any local addresses in the header (To:, Cc:, From: lines), while mails between two local users always have the local addresses - i.e. you want rewrite to work only on mails leaving the system.
Finally, you want that local mails are delivered immediately, while remote mails are stored in a queue until you are connected to the Internet.
I use Sendmail v 8.9.3, 8.11 and 8.12.11 with the corresponding versions of sendmail-cf. I also use GNU m4 1.4 for macro processing of sendmail.mc. This HOWTO will assume that all configuration files, including sendmail.cf are stored in /etc/mail. It also assume that the sendmail binary is /usr/sbin/sendmail, that the m4 binary is in your path, and that the cf directories are correctly installed.
NOTE: Some systems keep the sendmail.cf file at /etc/sendmail.cf, in that case, you should do the same. An easy way would be to either symlink /etc/sendmail.cf to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf or copy /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to /etc/sendmail.cf after you've generated it. The latter method can be more reliable as it sort of ensures that you don't have a half generated cf file when sendmail runs. YMMV.
If you have installed from rpm, you will need the sendmail-cf rpm, if you installed from source, then these will be in your source tree. For debian, the sendmail/cf directory is installed as part of the sendmail package.
I use pine as my mail client, in particular, pine uses `sendmail -bs' to send mail. There shouldn't be any difference with a client that connects to your smtp port.
Sendmail's configuration file - /etc/sendmail.cf is not necessarily human readable. In an earlier version of this Howto, I listed changes that were needed in sendmail.cf. While it isn't important to understand what those changes were, I've decided to get rid of that, and just write some m4 files that you can use. For the main part, we will edit a sendmail.mc file, and use m4 along with these additional files to generate the sendmail.cf file. This has the added advantage of being easier to maintain when you update your sendmail.mc file and need to regenerate sendmail.cf.
The patch for sendmail-cf's macro files is attached at the end of this document.
At this point, it may be be wise to read the cf/README (or README.cf) file that came with your sendmail/sendmail-cf package. It explains the mc file well.
You should already have a file called /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, but if you don't, now is a good time to create it. You can use mine as a template:
divert(-1) dnl This is the macro configuration file used to generate the /etc/sendmail.cf dnl file. If you modify this file you will have to regenerate the dnl /etc/sendmail.cf by running this macro configuration through the m4 dnl preprocessor: dnl dnl m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf dnl dnl You will need to have the sendmail-cf package installed for this to dnl work. include(`/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4') define(`confDEF_USER_ID',``8:12'')dnl OSTYPE(`linux')dnl undefine(`UUCP_RELAY')dnl undefine(`BITNET_RELAY')dnl define(`confAUTO_REBUILD')dnl define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `goaway authwarnings')dnl dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `esmtp:isp.com')dnl define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE', `True')dnl define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `e')dnl define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `')dnl define(`confTO_INITIAL', `10s')dnl define(`confTO_CONNECT', `10s')dnl define(`confTO_ICONNECT', `10s')dnl define(`confCW_FILE', `/etc/mail/local_host_names')dnl dnl FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl FEATURE(`nocanonify')dnl dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/local_host_names')dnl dnl dnl The egenericstable is a feature that will be added through dnl my patch for the macro files dnl FEATURE(`egenericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/egenericstable')dnl dnl FEATURE(`access_db')dnl FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl dnl MAILER(`local')dnl MAILER(`smtp')dnl
First of all, change the path in the include line to whatever it is on your system. If you've installed from source or using apt on a debian system, this would be /usr/share/sendmail/cf. Also, replace isp.com with the host-name of your isp's smtp server.
I will now attempt to explain the important parts of this file. Most of these things are documented in the README file, so I'll skip those. I will only explain the masquerading options.
Before that, if you're wondering what all the dnl commands are. It simply means delete till new line. Since m4 is a stream processor, it does not care about newlines, and will read and write all white space. These commands just tell it to skip the extra white space. You can also place comments after a dnl.
define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE', `True')dnl define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `e')dnl
These two lines tell sendmail that SMTP mailers are expensive (the e flag), and not to try expensive mailers on the first try. This will cause sendmail to put any mail that requires a connect to a remote smtp server to stay in a queue until you flush the queue with `sendmail -q'.
Local mails will be delivered immediately, because the local mailer is not marked as expensive.
Furthermore, since we are not always connected to the Internet, we don't want warnings of mail being stuck in the queue too long (because that's a perfectly valid situation).
define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `')dnl
tells sendmail to unset the QUEUE WARN TimeOut. Set it if you want notifications of mail not being sent for more than a day. You can set it to 1d for 1 day or 1m for 1 minute, etc.
This solves the third part of our problem - mail delivery.
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl define(`confCW_FILE', `/etc/mail/local_host_names')dnl
These lines tell sendmail to add a domain name to all mails, even if they are sent locally. The cw file is a file containing a list of aliases for your system. It is /etc/local_host_names by default, but we tell sendmail to use /etc/mail/local_host_names through confCW_FILE. This is so that all mail related sub-configuration files are in a common subdirectory.
FEATURE(`nocanonify')dnl
This line tells sendmail not to do DNS (Domain Name System) look ups on host names. Since we are not permanently connected to the Internet, this is required to prevent sendmail from locking up until it gets a DNS time-out.
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
By default, sendmail will only masquerade addresses in the mail header, i.e. the From:, To:, Cc: lines. masquerade_envelope tells sendmail to also masquerade the address used to make the smtp connection with the remote host. In our case, this would be the smart host.
We need this address to be the one that our isp has given us.
`allmasquerade' tells sendmail to also rewrite recipient addresses.
Normally, local recipients would receive mail will the local domain name
attached to their address. This will cause their masqueraded name to
appear.
The advantage of this is that if you send a mail to both, a remote and a local user, then the remote user will see all valid addresses in the To: line, because all local addresses have been masqueraded. He can reply to all, and the mail will reach correctly.
Unfortunately, local users receive mail with all foreign domains, so their replies will take longer to reach (as they will go to the masquerade host instead).
There is a workaround for this, as we shall see later.
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/local_host_names')dnl
The generics table gives us a very high level of flexibility in setting aliases for outgoing mails. The genericsdomain file tells sendmail which hosts the genericstable applies to. Since we already have a local_host_names file, which contains a list of domains we accept mail for, it makes sense to use the same for outgoing domains.
Finally, we add our own rule, which tells sendmail how to rewrite the envelope (hence the `e' prefix).
FEATURE(`egenericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/egenericstable')dnl
This rule will add the code to sendmail.cf that v1 of this document required you to add manually.
My /etc/mail/genericstable looks like this:
philip philip.tellis@mydomain.com
While my /etc/mail/egenericstable looks like this:
philip tellis@isp.com
My local_host_names file is:
tae.tellis.home
which is the output of hostname -f
Once you've made your tables, you have to convert them to hash databases using the make map command:
makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable makemap -r hash egenericstable.db > egenericstable
These are the files that are actually read by sendmail.
Finally, convert your sendmail.mc file to sendmail.cf using m4:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
It's actually a good idea to write this to a different file, and then move that to sendmail.cf. You could first check the file for errors, and also, you won't overwrite a file that is currently being processed. However, since you're on a home machine with presumably only one person using the machine at a time, this isn't such an issue. You decide what you need to do.
Now, restart sendmail using whatever method you normally use. On systems using SysV startup scripts, this would be /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Since I connect to the net using a ppp link, I have this in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q3m
which tells sendmail to process the queue every three minutes.
I also have this in /etc/ppp/ip-down.local:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q1d
which tells sendmail to process the queue once a day if not connected. Make it more if you want.
Some distributions have a makefile to regenerate all databases and the sendmail.cf file. You'll have to add an entry for your egenericstable there. You're on your own for this.
Apart from the references above, you may want to check all the documentation that comes with sendmail.
IMPORTANT: This patch is for sendmail v 8.12, if your version is different, this may not work. Have a look at older versions of this document for older versions of sendmail.
Most versions of the patch utility can patch your directories straight from this howto itself.
First change to the directory where your sendmail-cf m4 macros and documentation is. On RedHat this is /usr/share/sendmail-cf while on debian or source installs, it is /usr/share/sendmail/cf. Some older systems used /usr/lib/sendmail-cf - the patch would most likely not work with these systems.
To verify that you are in the correct directory, check that the feature, m4 and mailer directories are listed in there.
Then, run the patch command on this file:
patch -p0 < Hdr-Env-Masq-miniHOWTO.txt
That's it. Don't worry about all the stuff before the actual patch. The patch util knows to ignore everything until it finds the actual patch.
If the patch doesn't work for you, then you might have to revert to the steps outlined in version 1 of this document. If you have sendmail v 8.9, you can use the patch in version 1.1 of this document, for sendmail v 8.11, use version 1.2 of this Howto.
