Matthew,
I actually tried using the generics table from the start, which is what led
me to figure out that the root account wasn't getting masqueraded. After
figuring that out, I completely took out all entries of the genericstable to
see that all acounts but root would be masqueraded, so putting that back
into the genericstable won't do any good.
I did however just comment out the C{E}root in my .cf file and restarted
sendmail, and, alas, it finally is working like I want it to and
masquerading the root account.
Thanks to everyone for their patience in helping me solve my problem,
Ed

By default the root account always used to be added to class {E} ---
exposed users, ie. account names that should not be masqueraded. The
docs suggest that stopped after sendmail 8.10.x, but a quick glance
through /etc/mail/sendmail.cf still reveals:
C{E}root
and there's no EXPOSED_USER(`root') in my .mc file, so I guess it's
still happening.
You can use the GENERICSTABLE functionality to rewrite the sender
address: works pretty much like MASQUERADE except it matches
individual senders rather than domain names. Insert into
/etc/mail/`hostname`.mc:
FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN(`your.hostname.com')dnl
and create a file /etc/mail/genericstable containing:
root [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then rebuild your sendmail config and the genericstable.db database
etc.:
cd /etc/mail
make install
make restart
Cheers,
Matthew
