Hi - we have some applications running on a unix box, the mail is then sent to a domino server for relay. It uses localhost so that it can be queued if the relay server is down.
The sender address shows as user@machinename.domain.com. Is there a way in a Notes config to remove the machine name and have it just get sent as user@domain.com? We’ve found that not all external addresses care one way or the other what is there, so it will accept the message, where others will not.

Well, there are a few tricks depending on what is being used on the *nix box for the relay.
For examples look at this link: sendmail address rewriting mini-HOWTO: Configuring sendmail
You could also do the following, although I have not tested it but it should work.
Create a rule in Domino to place any messages from “user@nixbox.domain.com” on hold. Create an agent to monitor mail.box for any messages that are held, verify the held messages is from user@nixbox.domain.com then change the field to user@domain.com then remove the hold status so router will pick it back up.

Thanks for the info, that’s all I’ve been able to find so far is what can be done on the unix side - masquerading, postfix, sendmail, etc. Is there any way that it can be done on the Notes side? Global domain doc, config doc, etc? We have quite a few unix boxes that will be relaying, so they’re wanting to put a resolution in place within Notes. I’m not sure if it can even be done, or what/where to start looking.
