Re: Here's an easy one

The command line really shouldn't make any difference.  I've got
masquerading configured on a couple of servers and I can manually send
e-mails using either the "mail" command or even the "sendmail" command, and
it successfully masquerades them.

I can offer you this, though.  Are you sending these command line messages
as "root"?  If so, there is a default setting on most sendmail
configurations to masquerade every host and every user EXCEPT root.  I
haven't figured out where to add this to the sendmail.mc file, but I can
tell you what to do with the sendmail.cf file.  It's a line that typically
reads:

C{E}root

This line tells sendmail to masquerade everything except mail sent from the
root user.  You can simply comment this line out:

#C{E}root

You might also check to see if you have any "EXPOSED_USER" settings in your
sendmail.cf file.  This function defines specific users that should NOT be
masqueraded. 

Hope that helps.
