[SUMMARY] sendmail - Convert local mail to internet mal?

I was trying to avoid using /etc/mail/aliases, but based on the responses I
got, its what I need to do. The best reply was from Chris Hoogendyk
(hoogendyk_at_bio.umass.edu):

you could set up a script that would do it for you.

grab a copy of /etc/passwd, use awk and/or sed to strip out the usernames, add
the aliases to the lines, and then copy the resulting file to the end of a
copy of the aliases file. If you put a marker at the end of the regular
aliases file, then you could duplicate the aliases file, delete everything
after the marker, and run the script that puts the aliases at the end, then
move it back to aliases and do a newaliases. you would have to make sure the
system accounts (root, lp,smmsp, nobody, etc) were removed.

if you are brave, put that all in a script and do it in one fell swoop
whenever you have added users.

Ryan,

Just edit /etc/mail/aliases and at the bottom add lines like: (see the
doco in the aliases file)
jschmoe:  jschmoe@foobar.com

Then just run newaliases to rebuild the aliases database.

Thanks
Darren

Subject: sendmail - Convert local mail to internet mal?

I want to make it so that on Solaris systems, when mail is sent to a
local
user (ie jschmoe, root), it gets converted to an internet mail address,
like
jschmoe@foobar.com. I'd like to avoid having a UNIX mail spool with
local mail
sent to it, I'd rather it just be converted to an internet mail address
and go
to our regular mail system.

I've tried various combinations with LOCAL_RELAY, MASQUERADE_DOMAIN,
FEATURE('mailertable`) to no avail. Ideas?
