----------
Testing masquerading
sendmail's address test mode makes it easy to test masquerading.
====================================================

# sendmail -bt
/tryflags HS (to test the header sender address; other tryflags values would be ES, HR, and ER, for envelope sender, header recipient, and envelope recipient, respectively)
/try esmtp email_address_to_test

Example:
sendmail -bt
> /tryflags ES
> /try esmtp user@host.domain.com
Trying envelope sender address user@host.domain.com for mailer esmtp

(many lines omitted)

final            returns: user @ domain . com
Rcode = 0, addr = user@domain.com
