Re: Question abour SRS in sendmail

Surely this question is exactly what SRS is all about? Some mail servers 
NEED to forward mail on behalf of others, and SRS is meant to provide a 
method whereby we can.

I don't think that Fernando wants to actually rewrite the sender address, 
rather to include a statement that his mail server has permission to 
forward on behalf of the originating mail server.

I would also love an "idiots guide" to implementing SRS in Sendmail. Does 
such a thing exist or can anyone help out?

Thanks
Sarah
