Sendmail: mails rejected with "550-unrouteable mail domain "blade150.lafr.de""

[Langelage, Frank]

mails sent from my Sun Blade 150 (Solaris 9) via sendmail are rejected
by the destination mail server with message shown above in the subject line.

My sendmail.mc file look like this:
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)main.mc 1.5 (Sun) 08/10/00')
OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
MASQUERADE_AS(lafr.de)dnl
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

I put in the domain name "lafr.de". I thought this will change
[email]user@host.domain.de[/email] to [email]user@domain.de[/email].
But it seems that I am missing something else.

Who can help me ?

According to Section 4.8.4 of the O'Reilly book on Sendmail,
the FEATURE(`allmasquerade') line should be after the line
with MASQUERADE_AS(lafr.de). The book also gives examples
of the MASQUERADE_AS line with the domain name in quotes,
not bare, like your .mc file has.

Rather than `allmasquerade', perhaps you want `masquerade_envelope'.

Try comp.mail.sendmail instead : >
Anyway in /usr/lib/mail/README
have a look at the masquerade_entire_domain section for starters

Based on subsidiary.mc I now have these lines in my .mc file:

divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)subsidiary.mc 1.10 (Sun) 12/14/00')
OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.osnanet.de')
MASQUERADE_AS(`lafr.de')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

LOCAL_NET_CONFIG
R$* < @ $* .$m. > $* $#esmtp $@ $2.$m $: $1 < @ $2.$m. > $3


This works now.

Thanks for your help.
