AIX sendmail
Richard P. Kernin
I'm trying to locate how to go about making AIX sendmail "masquerade"
as another host the way V8 sendmail does. The syntax between the
BSD sendmail.cf and the AIX sendmail.cf is quite different from what
I can make out (not expert unfortunatly :-(
I'm trying to have the AIX machine forward all mail to a central server,
and give the addresses in the form "us...@domain.edu" as opposed to
what it is currently doing "us...@host.domain.edu".
Any/all pointers in this matter are appreciated!
Take care,
-Rich
PS: is it possible to run V8 sendmail on AIX? I'd heard that since AIX
sendmail uses startsrc/stopsrc for starting/stopping, that it wasn't a
drop-in replacement.

The only solution (or at any rate, the best solution) is to ditch IBM's
sendmail and install and use sendmail V8. It builds quite well, and
runs well, too. It also gives you a modern sendmail with many useful
features. You should get and install the Berkeley DB package, too.
All these are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu.
