No rewrite for local mail.
Yes, but as somebody else pointed out, this is for mail bound to localhost. What happens if I'm on a.mynet.org and I write to b.mynet.org? I think sendmail doesn't see this is a local (internal LAN) address and rewrites its header like with any other internet bound message. Or so I think, since my other home machine is down (being used my windows-sister). I think I tried it (in the early days) and found I could not stop rewriting. > As to the other question, yes, the confDELIVERY_MODE=queue > queues all messages.

Thank you for your answer. It seems to me (from other messages) that smail is easier to manage WRT this problem (with routers, directors and the like). Problem is I don't like smail (and recent problems with newer smail don't make me like it more). What I'd like sendmail to do is: localhost mail deliver locally don't rewrite header LAN mail deliver thru eth0 don't rewrite header internet mail deliver thru ppp0 rewrite header -- || || ||||||| Marco Frattola Microsoft is not the answer ||`..'|| |||...
