Hi,

I am a remotee connected to my employer's network via VPN.
I would need all emails from my work address to be routed through
company's SMTP server (whether they are going to our company's
domain or not -- think public email lists where I am subscribed
with my work email, and think SPF on the listservs; I have
already got couple of returned messages because of sending with
my work address through SMTP server of my ISP) and messages with
my personal address going through my ISP's SMTP server or
directly (probably, the former given the tone on other current
threads in this NG).

I know about mailertable, but that is controlled by the
recepients' addresses not sender's.

Could anybody point me in the right direction (preferably just
using some tables, not by direct sendmail.cf rules in my
sendmail.mc), please?

Bonus points would be if somebody told me how to specify
smarthost with different port number (I use VPN, but my colleague
in the office who is in the same situation, uses ssh tunnels, so
have internal SMTP server on localhost with different port
number)? And again, is it possible to do it just with a table, or
do I have to write sendmail.cf rules to sendmail.mc?

Thanks a lot for any reply,

Matej Cepl

http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/smarttab.html
*Smart Table*
The document describes how to make sendmail select smart host [e-mail
relay host] based on envelope sender address (full address or domain
part only).

Cool! That looks really great. Just one question -- what is the
relation between smarttable and mailertable? I mean, I have this
smarttable (slightly modified, but I think it should be readable
for YOU):

mcepl <chr 64> redhat <chr 46> com smtp:pobox.stuttgart.redhat.com
matej <chr 64> ceplovi <chr 46> cz smtp:smtp.ipex.cz

and this is my mailertable:

redhat.com smtp:pobox.stuttgart.redhat.com
..redhat.com smtp:pobox.stuttgart.redhat.com
seznam.cz smtp:smtp.ipex.cz
..seznam.cz smtp:smtp.ipex.cz
.. smtp:smtp.ipex.cz

(I know that ``seznam.cz'' are not necessary, but they should be
harmless, I hope).

And at least according to sendmail -bt it looks great! Thanks
a lot. However, what happens when I send email without any domain
whatsoever -- I would like that as default option, sendmail would
go to mailertable and use the rules found there. Is it possible?

Thanks a lot again,

Matej

1) mailertable is *always* consulted before smarttable and smarttable
is not consulted on "mailertable match"
2) smarttable can also route messages from <>

So just to be sure, that I understand correctly -- you mean, that
it couldn't be done.

> 2) smarttable can also route messages from <>

Hmm, probably, that's the best solution -- it is not what
I wanted, but oh well.

THanks a lot,

Matej
