Hi Everyone...

I've familarized myself with Sendmail and have a working setup but always here that postfix is easier and more secure so i'm not sure if i'm making a mountain out of a molehill or what but I've ran into a problem.

I have one location setup as let's say HERE.DOMAIN.COM and I toss the mail around on the local network with that address (Everything works fine), now for OUTGOING mail I would like it to be USER@DOMAIN.COM not USER@HERE.DOMAIN.COM so I setup the Masquerade Domain and it works fine but I can no longer send the mail around locally with the USER@HERE.DOMAIN.COM address it all comes from USER@DOMAIN.COM...

In Sendmail I use the FEATURE(NO_LOCAL_MASQUERADE) so all my mail going to xxx@here.domain.com gets delivered correctly locally and if it is sent to anyone else it comes from user@domain.com and works good. can that be reproduced with Postfix easy enough?

PostFix sure does look easier to configure and work with so i would like to get this resolved but I'm thinking sendmail and not finding the right solution. Maybe i'm approching it wrong and have to re-structure it?

Also, all my outgoing mail will be relayed off to our corporate office which has there mail at USER@DOMAIN.COM that is why I want to toss it locally at USER@HERE.DOMAIN.COM and only masquerade outgoing mail, otherwise I end up with a user sending a message to someone and the reply leaves our location to the Corp Office and back again so it's not efficient.

Thanks,
Vince

I found a feature where I can use

Masquerade = !here.domain.com domain.com

so that will NOT masquerade my local domain but I really DO want it to masquerade it if it is sent my SMTP or OUTGOING mail, just NOT if it is local... Has anyone got a setup simiar to this that can help me out?

Thanks,
Vince

I can't seem to get it to work the way I need either... with the !here.domain.com in postfix it then works correctly by NOT masquerading anything from that domain but like I mentioned I DO want that masqueraded for outgoing mail...

Has anyone used sendmail for masquerading OUTGOING mail only so you can send mail locally to user@this.domain.com back and forth and once it is to be delivered by smtp masquerade it to user@domain.com???

Or am I taking a wrong approch to postfix?

usera@this.domain.com -----mails------------ userb@this.domain.com

keeps the usera@this.domain.com address which is fine

Usera@this.domain.com -----mails------------ JoeBlow@hotmail.com

should be masqueraded as Usera@domain.com


Hope you can help me out here...

Thanks,
Vince
