sendmail address rewriting mini-HOWTO: Configuring sendmail 3. Configuring sendmail 3.1 The main configuration fileSendmail uses a highly complex rule system for it's configuration. While you can do lots of neat tricks with this stuff, writing a sendmail.cf file from scratch is rather unusual and time-consuming. If you are interested in doing so, you should stop reading this document right now and instead read the "Bat Book" from O'Reilly.Instead of hand-crafting these rules, we will rely on the m4 macro processor to put together our configuration file from ready-made pieces which are distributed together with sendmail.Let's look at the first lines of the sendmail.mc file: include(/usr/lib/sendmail.cf/m4/cf.m4) VERSIONID(`sendmail.mc - roessler@guug.de') OSTYPE(debian) define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/mail/aliases')In the beginning, cf.m4 is included. This m4 macro file contains lots of macro definitions for the rest of the file. Be sure that the path you give here is correct - the one we are representing in our example is typical for Debian GNU/Linux. The OSTYPE macro is used to give some useful defaults for certain configuration values. If you aren't using a Debian system, you should replace the word "debian" by "linux" here. ALIAS_FILE tells sendmail where to look for the list of aliases.The following lines tell sendmail to use the genericstable feature, and where to find the configuration files needed to use it: FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable') GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/genericsdomain') The masquerade_envelope feature tells sendmail to apply header rewriting to the envelope sender of a message. This is the mail address to which external mail delivery subsystems will direct their delivery failure reports and warning messages. The generics* files will be explained below.Now, we have to define a so-called smart host, that is, a machine which will handle outgoing mail for your system. Note that this machine may be different from your ISP's POP and IMAP servers. If in doubt, contact the hotline. The code in the master configuration file: define(`SMART_HOST',`mail-out.your.provider')Please replace mail-out.your.provider by the fully qualified hostname of your internet service provider.The final two lines include the "mailer" definitions which are needed by sendmail to find out how to handle various types of mail: MAILER(local) MAILER(smtp)To generate the sendmail.cf file from this sendmail.mc, type the following commands (as root): # m4 sendmail.mc > _sendmail.cf # mv -f _sendmail.cf sendmail.cfNote the technique of writing m4's output to a temporary file which is thereafter moved to the proper place. This helps us to prevent sendmail from reading partially written configuration files.3.2 Address rewritingFirst, we have to tell sendmail what addresses are to be considered local (and thus should be subjected to the rewriting). This is quite simple: Just put the fully qualified host name of your machine into the file /etc/mail/genericsdomain. To get your host's fully qualified name, type the following command: $ hostname -f Now, let's come to the rewriting table proper: /etc/mail/genericstable. This file consists of two white-space separated columns. The first column contains the local address, the second column contains the e-mail address which should be used instead. The file may look like this: harry harryx@your.isp maude maudey@her.isp root fredx@your.isp news fredx@your.ispNote that there should be one entry for each account on the local machine, so that automatically generated mail which leaks out of the local system carries correct header information.For performance reasons, sendmail won't use this text file directly, but rely on a "hashed" version instead. To generate it, type the following command: # makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstableNote that the rewriting rules from the genericstable will not apply to local mail or to messages you receive from outside - the mapping is only used if a message leaves your local system for your ISP's smart host.3.3 AliasesThe aliases file contains additional local names which are only valid for local messages. This is useful for administrative accounts like root which receive automatically generated messages from your system.A reasonable start for /etc/mail/aliases could look like the following file: root: fred news: root postmaster: root mail: root www: root nobody: /dev/null MAILER-DAEMON: nobodyThis example will forward local mail for the root, news, postmaster, mail, and www users to fred, while messages for nobody and MAILER-DAEMON will be redirected to /dev/null.Just like the genericstable, aliases may contain lots of entries. Thus, it would once again be inefficient for sendmail to use the text file we just described. The same mechanism as with genericstable is used for aliases: A hashed database is generated. Instead of using makemap directly, you can type in the command newaliases this time. It will automatically take care of all what's needed. v
