changing Sendmail from address (apache) to other depending on the virtual host

rolty · 10-23-2015, 06:18 AM

I have a server with many virtual domains.
Several of these have forms and alert emails which are sent via php and sendmail.
Currently these all have headers of the form:

Code:

This is causing a lot of problems with spam classification and blocks.
Ive tried adding relevant domains to the trusted domains list, and using php with the -f feature , eg

PHP Code:



mail("jim@blah.co.uk", "Rolty's Form", $message, $headers, "-fmail@blah.co.uk");

This has no effect..
Ive also looked into using the generics table, but as the actual sender of the email is always apache, it looks like I could only rewrite that to one other address, is that correct?

Several hours on google has me going round in circles, can anyone point the way?

Thanks!

If you were using Postfix, "virtual-alias-maps" might do the trick.

Sadly I'm not using Postfix, and it's not very likely that this situation will change.. Anyone have an idea for sendmail?

Postfix has its own sendmail compatible interface - you probably won't know the difference.
Depending on your distro, if Postfix is installed it will install the sendmail interface too.

OK I will look into this... the mail server is live with over 100 active users so I will have to be very careful not to interrupt anyones service, its a shame there doesnt seem to be another way to do this!, will report back when Ive done some study, thanks!
