Sendmail config question

I currently have a server set up as the SMTP server for our e-mail.

We have a corporate domain (foo.com), and another domain we use for our
site (foo-east.com). The mail server for foo.com is outside of our
facility (3rd party hosted). We have on site the mail server for foo-east.com
(different machine than the SMTP server for our site).

If I want to send an email to (E-Mail Removed) who is in our same facility
(foo-east.com), it goes out through the SMTP server, into the corporate mail
server. We then retrieve our email from that server over the internet.
No biggy, works OK.

But what I'd like to do is intercept emails going out through our SMTP
that can be routed locally. So if I send an email to (E-Mail Removed), it looks
up fred and finds that fred is at (E-Mail Removed) and changes the
address to be foo-east instead of foo in the "To" field.

I tried using genericstable for this, but it doesn't really work
to change (E-Mail Removed) to (E-Mail Removed).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

It is always helpful to post the configuration effort you've already made in
genericstable, in the off-chance that it's a simple syntax issue.

More likely however is that you haven't yet added foo.com to class {G} as
stated in cf/README:

genericstable
This feature will cause unqualified addresses (i.e., without a domain) and
addresses with a domain listed in class {G} to be looked up in a map and
turned into another ("generic") form, which can change both the domain name
and the user name. Notice: if you use an MSP (as it is default starting with
8.12), the MTA will only receive qualified addresses from the MSP (as
required by the RFCs). Hence you need to add your domain to class {G}.
This feature is similar to the userdb functionality. The same types of
addresses as for masquerading are looked up, i.e., only header sender
addresses unless the allmasquerade and/or masquerade_envelope features are
given. Qualified addresses must have the domain part in class {G}; entries
can be added to this class by the macros GENERICS_DOMAIN or
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE (analogously to MASQUERADE_DOMAIN and
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN_FILE, see below).

Tony, thanks for the info.

The reason I asked was that it wasn't clear to me whether genericstable
was the correct place to do this. Mainly because I do not want to
alter From addresses, only To addresses. I had examined the cf/README
and found it a little confusing since I am very new at messing with
configuring sendmail, and the README assumes a bit of knowledge.
For example, I don't know how to "add foo.com to class {G}".

Thanks again for clarifying. I'll have another look at it.

OK Tony, I have that set up as described, but still no joy.

I have a line in genericstable like this:

(E-Mail Removed) (E-Mail Removed)

And I have this in my sendmail.cf:

CGfoo.com

Testing with "sendmail -bt" and using "/tryflags HS" followed by "/try smtp (E-Mail Removed)"
it indicates that it's being mapped to "(E-Mail Removed)".

But when I actually send an email to (E-Mail Removed), it still goes out to (E-Mail Removed),
not (E-Mail Removed).
