3176.0. "Changing smtp domain names" by NCMAIL::DESENA () Fri Apr 18 1997 15:45

    I have a customer who installed/configured MB400, MB400 SMTP Gateway,
    X.500, XMR on a node and gave it a test domain name of
    trex.state.nj.us.  They now want to put it in production with the name
    of tre.state.nj.us (this domain already exists and had routed to
    another node).
    
    They want to change the minimum amount of configuration information. 
    Any thoughts on whether the following will work:
    
    In sendmail.cf file:
    	change the CX trex.state.nj.us line to read 
    		   CX trex.state.nj.us tre.state.nj.us
    	change the line 
    		# name exported on external internet mail
    		from DWtrex.state.nj.us to DWtre.state.nj.us
    On the firewall:
    	change the MX record that points tre.state.nj.us to nodeA to the
    	MB400 node (nodeB)
    In X.500 MTS:
    	user foreign address will be "tre.state.nj.us" instead of
    	"trex.state.nj.us"
    
    Or, do you think they need to totally reconfigure all the MB400, X.500
    and MB400 smtp components?
    
    Thanks for any pointers or tips.

The will also want to run /var/smtpgw/scripts/smtpgw_setup, and give the new
domain at the RFC822 prompt: this is required so that mail X.400 to SMTP
will have a 'From' address that is replyable. The edit you propose to
sendmail.cf is all that is required to make it work SMTP->X.400 on the local
host (whether it works from remote SMTP hosts depends on how you route your
mail to the gateway from them e.g. MX records).
