Hi,
Just having a book about Sendmail in reach, perhaps I can add
something about virtual domains in sendmail. First, I can't find
'virtual domains', but I think 'virtusertable' is meant (sendmail 8.9.3-
21).
This is a sample for a virtusertable file:
@smallorg.org mailbox@???
@anotherorg.org %1@???
webmaster@??? rich@???
What happens?
In line 1 all mail destined for smallorg.org is redirected to a single
mailbox called mailbox@???.
Line 2 is redirecting messages from one to another. Note: the token
'%1' variable is used as a token to replicate the username is the
first address.
Line 3 is an example of redicting a single user mailbox to another
location.
I hope this will help some.
