If the Utility Meter's fully qualified domain name is not resolvable on the public Internet, you need to configure
hostname masquerading so that the remaining domain name is DNS resolvable. To control the masquerading,
use the DM macro in the sendmail configuration file.
There are two ways to introduce hostname masquerading on the Utility Meter:
•
Interactive program
: The Utility Meter software includes an interactive program that makes the changes
needed for the hostname masquerading configuration for you. See Section 2.11.1: “Interactive Hostname
Masquerading Setup”.
•
Manual procedure
: You can configure hostname masquerading manually in the sendmail configuration
file. See Section 2.11.2: “Manual Hostname Masquerading Setup”.
NOTE: For detailed information on hostname masquerading, see the appropriate (HP-UX 11i v2, or 11i
v3)

Services.
2.11.1 Interactive Hostname Masquerading Setup
To set up hostname masquerading on the Utility Meter, execute the following command:
# /opt/meter/sbin/sendmail-config
The sendmail-config program:
• Makes the changes to the sendmail.cf configuration file located in /etc/mail.
• Uses the Utility Meter's domain if the masquerading domain is not set.
• Automatically restarts sendmail.
• Verifies that the Utility Meter can contact the SMTP relay host.
• Restores the previous sendmail configuration if any of the sendmail configuration changes are
rejected by sendmail.
You must provide the following information to the sendmail-config program:
• Domain to masquerade to
• Outbound SMTP relay host
Here is an example of running the /opt/meter/sbin/sendmail-config program:
# /opt/meter/sbin/sendmail-config
sendmail-config: This program configures sendmail(1m) on HP-UX for
sendmail-config: domain masquerading and outbound SMTP relaying.
sendmail-config: Domain masquerading forces sendmail to originate
sendmail-config: all email with the specified domain.
sendmail-config: The outbound SMTP relay is required when internal hosts
sendmail-config: are not allowed direct email connections to the internet.
sendmail-config: To disable domain masquerading or the SMTP relay, enter a
sendmail-config: single dash ('-') when prompted for the host/domain to use.
sendmail-config: Domain to masquerade as ('-' for no masquerading)
sendmail-config: [subdomain.busines.example]: business.example.com
sendmail-config: Outbound SMTP relay host ('-' for no relay)
sendmail-config: []: smtp-out.business.example.com
sendmail-config: Verifying connectivity with smtp-out.business.example.com...ok.
sendmail-config: Setting sendmail masquerading to business.example.com.
sendmail-config: Setting sendmail SMTP relay to smtp-out.business.example.com.
