Re: sendmail woes
Back at the office and time to get back to the pending sendmail question, I have done all except the sendmail.cf rules. I was looking at those, and decided it was going to be one language too much. As in, my brain began to hurt. I will see what you have suggested below and see if it helps. Thanks for the pointers. I will let you know what happens. One question: the mail destined for the internal server is not addressed to in by the arriving messages. I want sendmail to send mail without a .forward (or even an entry in virtusertable to that machine), On Mon, 27 Jan 2003 17:23:48 -0500 Matthew Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (Hacked out of a message from my Sendmail guru) relay-domains mydomain.com local-host-names mydomain.com virtusertable @mydomain.com[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendmail Hack Modify the cd /usr/local/sendmail/smmta-8.10.0/cf/mailer/smtp.m4 file to add the sendmail rule # Added to fix INTERNALSERVER virtuser problem # [EMAIL PROTECTED] == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R$* @ internalserver. $* $* $: $1 @ $2 $3 # End INTERNALSERVER hack immediately after the # # envelope recipient rewriting -- # also header recipient if not masquerading recipients # SEnvToSMTP=21 header lines, and before the R$+ $: $PseudoToReal $1sender/recipient common R$+ $: $MasqSMTP $1qualify unqual'ed names R$* @ *LOCAL* $*$: $1 @ $j . $2 rules in that section.

Re: sendmail woes
Just a thought. I assume the internal machine runs sendmail or some other mail program. Why not program the internal machine to forward the mail? Joel ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
sendmail woes
I have just moved a mail server to use sendmail (Caldera 3.1.1). The machine 'should' forward all mail for a specific domain to an internal machine. OK. So I set up the mailertable to make this happen. That works. BTW, none of the users should have have an account on this sendmail box. Now, I have a few users in this domain who would prefer that their mail does not go to this internal machine, but is instead forwarded elsewhere. This is where it breaks down for me.
