[ale] sendmail dual masquerade

Mike Ivey replied privately that the generics table could be used for this
and that is documented on page 262 of the Nutshell Sendmail book.

If you are using M4 use:

	FEATURE('genericstable','dbm -o /etc/genericstable')

If you are not using M4 add the following to your sendmail.cf
shortly before:

	Kgenericstable dbm -o /etc/genericstable

Then create a file /etc/genericstable:

	user1	newuser1 at new.host1.domain
	user2	newuser2 at new.host2.domain

Then do

	makemap dbm /etc/genericstable < /etc/genericstable

On newer systems you could substitute dbm with hash.

The only problem is that names still are not mapped.  Sigh.

I'm running sendmail 8.6.10/8.6.9 on Slackware Professional 2.1, about
three years old.  (Not all of the mail clients used can specify the
reply fields.)

Any help is appreciated.
