My laptops config is:
VERSIONID(`shift.mc 1.1')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
Cwshift.utell.net
Cwshift.lan.awfulhak.org
define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `4d')dnl
define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN_NORMAL', `4d')dnl
define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `10d')dnl
define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN_NORMAL', `10d')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.utell.net')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`utell.co.uk')dnl
FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl
FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl
FEATURE(nodns)dnl
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`utell.co.uk')dnl
The SMART_HOST says that *all* mail should be sent to mail.utell.net
(the internal side of our mail gateway) and the MASQUERADE_AS and
allmasquerade bit says to change the From: line. You may find the
other bits useful too.
Use these commands to turn the above m4 file into sendmail.cf:
$ CFDIR=/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/
$ m4 -D_CF_DIR_=$CFDIR ${CFDIR}m4/cf.m4 shift.mc >sendmail.cf
I believe Joerg has built a package for doing this if you don't
have the source installed, but I can't remember anything about
it - sorry.
