qmail-masq-0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm


        qmail-masq version 0.2 by Davide Giunchi (gdavide@mclink.it)

	   			      http://www.folug.linux.it/qmail-masq.html


This is a perl program that works with qmail, it masquerade the internal mail 
users address with an external one when sending email from local network users 
to the external internet users.
It's useful when you have an internal qmail mail server that is configured with 
a nonexistent internet domain or a domain that you don't own, if you send an 
email from the internal network the adressee wouldn't be able to reply (or send
a new mail to that address) because this address doesn't really exist.
This program parse all mail, if one has field "From:" from an internal users
and "To:" or "CC" or "BCC" to an external one, it modify the field "From" to 
make seems that the sender's email is another (it change the email but mantain 
the name of the sender).
You could also define some "exception": mail users that will not be masquerade
with the default adressee but with another specified one.
It could be useful even if you own the external domain and coincide to the 
internal one but you don't want your personal address to be show, so all the
reply will arrive to an unique email.

All parameters like: internal domain, default email with wich masquerade, 
exceptions in masquerading and debug mode are settable from the configuration
file /etc/qmail-masq.conf .
This function is already build-in in sendmail and, in part, postfix but not in 
qmail, so as i like to use qmail i've written this program to make this function
available.

To install this program read the file INSTALL.

You are encourage to contribute this program, if you have patch, suggestion or
critics please contact me.

/tmp/qmail-masq.log file, i will analize it.
