Sendmail Question

[Brian Densmore]

Aaron,

  I think you meant to send this to the list. Let me try to answer this.
I thought about setting this up on my box, but it's decided not to. You
need to add an entry the virtusertable.db database. This is a created
from a text file called virtusertable.

A possible entry would look like this:

@mydomain.com myadmin at mydomain.com

myadmin at mydomain.com has to either exist or be an alias defined in the
aliases database. Once you edit the virtusertable, you will need to
rebuild the .db file.

you do that like this:
makemap dbm /etc/mail/virtusertable [< sourcefile]

the redirect is a way of creating the table from a file of a different
name. I do this from the directory where the virtusertable is.
