sendmail 8.12

Scenario: I use sendmail as a client against my mail server at verizon.net

Can anybody see from this sendmail.mc file why this would work for RH 7.3 with
sendmail 8.11 but not with RH 8.0 and sendmail 8.12?
The problem I am having is that bob@localhost.localdomain or apache@localhost.localdomain is not being changed per genericstable to mymailname@verizon.net or webmaster@mywebpage.com. The only thing I have seen changed in 8.12 is the way AUTH is performed when using sendmail as a client and I have already changed the DEF_AUTH_INFO to the (authinfo) scenario but it is not even getting to that point yet.
I hope this is clear enough to have someone point me in the right direction.

Did you set your domain names in /etc/mail/local-host-names ?

If not add each domain on a single line

moo.com
moo_cow.com

Let me know if this helps

After about 4 hours:
In looking over the documentation for sendmail 8.12 i noticed that there is a new daemon MSP .It looks like the FEATURE(genericstable) uses that daemon instead of the MTA daemon and therefore the genericstable.db hash needs to have file permissions set to new user and group smmsp:smmsp. (see RH Bugzilla Bug-75862).
The makemap program by default sets this file to 0640 root:root. I am going to try this when I get home tonight.

Let me know if it works. I am going to be upgrading soon myself. Just curious are you using SMTP Auth? If so how painfull was it to setup?

that didnt work in itself,but I noticed there is a submit.mc and a submit.cf file in the mail directory. looks like it might be something I need.Take a look at this. this is the first time I have seen this.
this is the submit.mc file:

Any suggestions????

Hey Dude,

Read the Masquerading section it may be your answer.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-sendmail.html#S2-EMAIL-SENDMAIL-CHANGES

That does work as far as changing the domain name so it sends as bob@verizon.net. What I was using the genericstable for was to resolve the left side of the @ to my real user name. Verizons MTA will only accept the right name even though the AUTH sends the username and password . so robert.tucci@verizon.net will work with user"xxx" and pass"xxx" but bob@verizon.net wont. the genericstable .And guess what!! I just changed my option GENERICS_DOMAIN(verizon.net)( which is working on my RH 7.3 box with sendmail 8.11) to GENERICS_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain) and it is now sending the proper envelope!!! Now all I have to do is get the (authinfo) working. I had the "default-auth-info" working in 8.11 but it doesnt work in 8.12 without deleting rulesets from the .cf file. I'll let you know what I find and then post all the pertinent files for you. More to follow........

I guess tenacity is a virtue. I finally got the @#@$%$# thing working. I am going to try trimming down the options one at a time to see which extraneous ones are in the config file. The AUTH part was fairly straightfoward once I taught myself sendmailese. I will
lay out all the files when I am done. Do you think this rates a small tutorial?

Cheers!

I think it would be a great tutorial. Ask matt@codewalkers.com see if he is interested in posting it.

Yep, if you make it, I will post it

Well, theres your answer from the omnipotent one.
