Add custom header

[Markus Sonnenberg]

Hi,

i'm looking for an easy solution to add custom header within sendmail. i
know that mimedefang is an option but i don't want to include mimedefang
only to add a custom header.

is there any way for main.mc/sendmail.cf doing this? some kind of macro?

regards
markus

sendmail.cf can add headers to emails (see H lines in sendmail.cf) but
it may be incapable to pass specific information you want to the header.
Could you be more specific?

in first place i need to add a "X-EDICODE:blablabla" header. one of our
vendors wants to process our automatically generated mails. i know that
it might be smarter to get the generating process to add this header to
the mail. but the mainframe folks told me that this is not as easy as it
sounds. they barely managed to write a process to generate mails.

the second header would be some kind of disclaimer or "X-Company"
header. sounds stupid, i know.

ah, i see. something like ...

HX-EDICODE: BlaBlub Bla

... would do the trick. am i right? but how to add this to main.mc. i
don't want to edit sendmail.cf everytime after creating it through m4.

I would dare to suggest:

LOCAL_CONFIG
HX-Header1: BlaBlub Bla
HX-Header2: usia siusia
divert(0)dnl

0) Wait a day or two for critique of the above :-)
1) LOCAL_CONFIG will not put your H lines together with sendmail.org H
lines but it seems to be the closest/best place currently _available_
via m4 files
2) The last line [divert(0)] is not necessary if you put the lines at
the very end of *.mc file

Andrzej,

Can you please point me how to add custom header only if user has authenticated? ${auth_type} somehow?

Answer myself:

LOCAL_CONFIG
H?auth_type?X-Auth: authenticated as ${auth_authen} with ${auth_type}

[Asle Skage]

Hi,

I an also trying to do this.
It has been tested, but it does always add the X-header regardless ig
the user is authenticated or not. The difference is that the fields are
empty
when not authenticated.

While using Google I also found this:
Do not declare rulesets in the LOCAL_CONFIG section. It can be used to
declare local database maps or whatever.(from this
page:http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/tweaking_rulesets.html)

I have problems finding complete and useful iformation about this.
