FROM Address in emails
Hi All,
I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I just want to change the "from address" or the "reply to" on the mails going out from my hobbit server. I've searched through the mailing list and docs and can't seem to see it (I'm sure it is simple). Please help.
Thank you,

That's probably going to take a change in /etc/passwd, if you just want to change the userid.
I just took a look at email I received from our Hobbit - MS Outlook shows the "from address" as:
Hobbit Monitor [hobbit at server.domain.com]The hobbit userid in /etc/passwd looks like this:
hobbit:x:508:508:Hobbit Monitor:/home/hobbit:/bin/bashI know for a fact that's where the outgoing email picks up "Hobbit Monitor", because that's nowhere else in the system, and if I change that string new outgoing email picks it up. If I change the /etc/passwd entry to read:
norman:x:508:508:Norman the Foreman:/home/hobbit:/bin/bashI would expect hobbit email to come from
"Norman the Foreman [norman at server.domain.com]"
Alternatively you might be able to set up a script to talk directly to the SMTP server and convince it to use a spoofed address. That used to work, but email servers are smarter now...

Hi,
Thank you, the problem being that I'm trying to change the domain name from hobbit at server.domain.com to hobbit at domain.com. I apologize for not being clear. Thank you for the help.

What SMTP server software are you using? You will be able to configure this so that unqualified email addresses (e.g. ones coming from the box) will be sent from domain.com and not server.domain.com

Erguh! But hey - if you have to :)
Here is what a quick google turned up
When sendmail dispatches your email, it places the servers hostname behind your username, which becomes the "from address" in the email (ie. user at galaxy.example.com). Normally we only want to use the domainname and not the hostname, this setting allows all outgoing emails to be "user at example.com", the preferred method.
define(confDOMAIN_NAME', example.com')dnl
FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl
Add this in your sendmail.mc (not the main config file)

Hi all,
Running into a wall with the mail acks.
First, are the example scripts in the man pages for HOBBIT-MAILACK valid for sendmail?
Second, my hobbit user does not have a user directory is there a way to force creation?

Hi,
I'm running CentOs 5.1 fairly vanilla setup. I installed hobbit via RPM's. (just an FYI as background) when I run the Grep command I get: hobbit:x:104:104:Hobbit Daemon:/usr/libexec/hobbit:/bin/bash and there is an entry in /var/spool for my hobbit user. Now can I still use the scripts and where do I put them since I don't have a /home/hobbit directory?
Thank You,

Here is what a quick google turned up
When sendmail dispatches your email, it places the servers hostname behind your username, which becomes the "from address" in the email (ie.
user at galaxy.example.com). Normally we only want to use the domainname and not the hostname, this setting allows all outgoing emails to be "user at example.com", the preferred method.

Running into a wall with the mail acks.
First, are the example scripts in the man pages for HOBBIT-MAILACK valid for sendmail?
Second, my hobbit user does not have a user directory is there a way to force creation?
Sorry I'm a linux newbie and I really appreciate the help.
Thank you

Hi,
Just using a fairly vanilla install of sendmail.
Erguh! But hey - if you have to :)
Here is what a quick google turned up
When sendmail dispatches your email, it places the servers hostname behind your username, which becomes the "from address" in the email (ie.
user at galaxy.example.com). Normally we only want to use the domainname and not the hostname, this setting allows all outgoing emails to be "user at example.com", the preferred method.
define(
confDOMAIN_NAME',example.com')dnl FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnlAdd this in your sendmail.mc (not the main config file)

What SMTP server software are you using? You will be able to configure
this so that unqualified email addresses (e.g. ones coming from the box)
will be sent from domain.com and not server.domain.com

Hi All, I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I just want to change the "from address" or the "reply to" on the mails going out from myhobbit
server. I've searched through the mailing list and docs andcan't
seem to see it (I'm sure it is simple). Please help.That's probably going to take a change in /etc/passwd, if you just want to change the userid.
I just took a look at email I received from our Hobbit - MS Outlook shows the "from address" as:
Hobbit Monitor [hobbit at server.domain.com <mailto:hobbit at server.domain.com>]
The hobbit userid in /etc/passwd looks like this:
hobbit:x:508:508:Hobbit Monitor:/home/hobbit:/bin/bash
I know for a fact that's where the outgoing email picks up "Hobbit Monitor", because that's nowhere else in the system, and if I
change
that string new outgoing email picks it up. If I change the /etc/passwd entry to read:
norman:x:508:508:Norman the Foreman:/home/hobbit:/bin/bash
I would expect hobbit email to come from
"Norman the Foreman [norman at server.domain.com <mailto:norman at server.domain.com>]"
Alternatively you might be able to set up a script to talk directly to
the SMTP server and convince it to use a spoofed address. That used to
work, but email servers are smarter now...

You should take a look at the email configuration on your Hobbit server. "sendmail" used to have an option to rewrite outgoing headers to take off the server name. That may still be possible. Other email systems may also have that option, but I have no experience there. Haven't touched email configs for years... :)

If you just want someone else to get the replies you can simply put a different Reply-To SMTP header
Depending on how your emails are generated this could be as simple as: echo "Reply-To: rroginela at americashloans.net"
