As I promised at the BBLISA talk I gave last night, I have made
available via anonymous FTP the sendmail.cf file that I showed during
the tutorial. media.mit.edu:/sysadmin/sendmail/da-sendmail.cf is the
file to get. In this directory is also "da-ws-sendmail.cf". This is
a modified version of da-sendmail.cf and is for use on workstations
that are to forward all their outgoing mail to a mail hub.
da-ws-sendmail.cf will also rewrite all local addresses so that
outgoing mail appears to originate from your mail hub, rather than
from a workstation.
Also in this directory is a subdirectory called "test.cf". Test.cf
contains a special sendmail.cf that is designed to show you the exact
order that rulesets are invoked in your version of sendmail. Test.cf
was written by Simon Kenyon. Slides for the talk can be found in
files named "bblisa-slides.ps" and "bblisa-annotated-cf.txt".
At the BBLISA talk a few people asked me if my sendmail.cf would
handle hosts with multiple "A" records. I said you should use CNAME's
instead of multiple A records if it is at all possible (my sendmail.cf
will automatically handle CNAME's). My sendmail.cf *will* handle
multiple A records, but it will not do so automatically--you must add
one rule to the sendmail.cf file for each extra A record your host
has. There is a special ruleset (ruleset 9) that exists specifically
for kludges such as this. The comments tell you what you must do.
