Does any one out there know how to configure sendmail so that it will pass the entire email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to dbmail when dbmail is configured as the local mailer using lmtp?
My current setup works if the username is not a full email address. Although the aliases don't work. My goal is to replace all the unix user accounts on our systems at work with dbmail accounts. I want to use the full email address as the username for a few reasons. 1. When we make the switch over there won't be any overlapping usernames. e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] would both have the same usernames but on different servers. Hence the need to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] be seperate usernames. 2. I want to be able to standardize the way email accounts are set up for all of our users. with the email address as the username the customer will always know what their username is whereas now there are some overlapping namespaces. If joe is in use on the server we may have to use joe1 or some other in elegant solution. 3. Counting up the email accounts associated with a particular domain would be easier if the username was an email address. I have the following configuration for my mailer set up in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/dblocal.m4 Mdblocal, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMmnqSXzA5@:|, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=TCP localhost 24 In my mc file for generating my config file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc I have the following added with the local mailer definition removed. define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`dblocal')dnl MAILER(dblocal) From all my googling and searching through the sendmail book by oreilly I believe the solution lies in configuring sendmail to pass the full email address to the local mailer in the lmtp mailto command, so far I haven't had any luck in getting it to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I get this figured out I plan to make a detailed installation How-To for sendmail and dbmail. Thanks Steven Fletcher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
