I am trying to learn sendmail but it is not working the way I am expecting or wanting it to. I have tried everything that I can think of to no avail. Maybe someone can tell me why or maybe I should try something else.
I am running Debian Slink with sendmail running and bind working. I use multiple mailboxes for my family. Each member has a login account on the Linux machine. Each member has a permanate forwarding e-mail box on the net so when I change ISP's I do not have to worry about changing e-mail addresses. Now what I want is sendmail (read any one like exim, send, et.) to always re-write the from address to the forwarding e-mail address for that user. I want to use any client program that I want for the mail program. Like I like StarOffice for my personal mail and ishmail for my work mail. My wife likes Netscape for hers. All these programs access the Linux machine for all e-mail for the user. So my local sendmail sends and receives my mail. I also need to have a flexible alias system so I can have all accounts receive mail from one address and they get the private mail from the other accounts no matter what the name is on the ISP side. The mail pull from the ISP is done through fetchmail at the root level so I only have one configuration file. Is anyone running a system like this? Can anyone help me get it set up? I have tried so many things that this letter would be way too long for anyone to read if I listed them all here. I am willing to take any suggestions that anyone has to offer. Even trying something else as long as someone has an idea as to how this configuration would work. Thanks. Brian Schramm -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
