To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org becuase i want to know if it supports a specific feature or not. so before i do and spend all that time, i just thought i would ask a simple question or 2 to this list. my problem: i have 5 domains that my sendmail server recieves mail for, and im starting to get spammed at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc etc. realistically, name1 only needs to receive at domain1, and none of the others. there are many other accounts that only need to recieve at other specific domains, and not at any of them. before i go an burn up a lot of time reading about postfix, is there a way i can solve this problem within sendmail? if not, will researching in postfix eventually lead me to the solution im looking for? if i can fix it within sendmail, id just as soon perfer to stay with that, but ill switch if i have to. thanks, jonathan If I'm understanding you correctly, consider something like this in your /etc/mail/virtusertable: # domain1.org # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name1 @domain1.orgerror:nouser # # # domain2.com # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name2 @domain2.comerror:nouser # # # domain3.net # [EMAIL PROTECTED] name3 @domain3.neterror:nouser # # This makes name1 only receive mail at domain1, name2 at domain2, and name3 at domain3. Standard caveat about running make after modifying virtusertable.

I manage an Internet Provider with decentralized pop3/imap servers, that receive all incoming mail in one server and redistributes using virtusertable. We manage 4000 emails accounts. Easy to configure and test. Works great for us.

Are you using virtusertable for the domains? Then you can use something like this in `/etc/mail/virtusertable': [EMAIL PROTECTED] name1 @domain1.com550: User unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED] name2 @domain2.com550: User unknown You don't have to replace your mailserver then :) im actually a little proud of myself... just as this mail was comming in, i am finishing up my testing/deployment of this exact configuration. this was exactly what im looking for. Excellent! :) of my 5 domains, i probably have 10 addresses on 1, and then the rest have either 1 or 2. i think for now this configuration is going to be exactly what i am looking for, but i wonder what larger organizations who use only sendmail, and have this sort of requirment, if this is what they do too? I don't know about large organizations. We[1] use this scheme in our mail servers for a moderate amount of domains. It suits our limited needs quite fine.
