I have a Tru64 4.0f system that I want to keep away from the internet.
However, I want some email messages from that server to be sent to an
internet mail account. I do not want to send the mail directly to my isp,
but want to foward mail to a personal mail server on a Win2000 box and have
it send it to the big bad www. This will, of course, be a one way trip. We
have tested this with Windoze clients and it works, so I know that end is
working. From Essential System Administration the DF parameter in the
sendmail.cf file is the host where mail that the sever can't handle is sent.
I cannot find any reference to forwarder in the sendmail man page, or any
reference to 'forwarder'. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
To be clear, I do not want to forward some mail that I am receiving to
another account, but want to generate messages and have them sent out past
the firewall from a Win2000 mail server. I do not believe that .forward
will accomplish this.
I have not updated the version of sendmail, and would rather not unless
absolutely necessary.
A possible caveat: Sendmail is running on a box that is using our dns, which
means it can get ip address for hosts on the web, but it doesn't have a
route so I cannot communicate. Could this be a problem?
I origianally posted this to the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup but have not
received any responses.
Thanks!
