This is really a sendmail question I believe. Your problem is
probably because root doesn't get masqueraded. In your
sendmail.cf,
is there a line like the following:
CEroot
or
C{E}root
If so, comment it out and restart sendmail.
That will work but the config will get overwritten on
upgrades. It is best to override the defaults via the mc
config generator, so that "CE root" doesn't appear in the first place.
Yeah, I looked all over /usr/share/sendmail to find that config, but I
couldn't. When I resolved this, I think I modified the template that the
macros start from to avoid having it re-written. I'd appreciate it if
anyone can pass on what macro it is that controls this.
A glance at the bat book tells me the exception (no masquerading) is
inserted by
EXPOSED_USER(root)
Doh! I see it now. FreeBSD doesn't do it this way (so no "CE root").
For FreeBSD, non-masquerading for root is simply set by an entry in
/etc/mail/exposed-user-names, which is brought in by the
EXPOSED_USER_FILE directive in the default mc file. Edit
exposed-user-names to your heart's content (and pay attention in
case mergemaster throws it back at you during upgrades), and all
should be well.
