I thought there should be a better way than what I described. With this approach you don't necessarily need a catchall entry. Just let the mail flow through for everyone except exceptions listed in virtusertable.

How about bouncing from inside `virtusertable' itself? [EMAIL PROTECTED] alpha [EMAIL PROTECTED]beta @domain.comerror:nouser 550 No such user here I think this is the cleanest way to do something like the setup you described, since all the relevant information is kept closely packed together in `virtusertable' itself. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That should be the behavior you'd get from leaving it undefined. I actually don't know of a straightforward way to do it otherwise (short of using a pipe redirect to another program)..

I am looking at my /etc/mail/aliases how would I define bounce? I know I could simple send it to /dev/null, but I want it to bounce back to the sender with a "no such user" error. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Create a virtusertable entry for each user at the relevant domain you DO want to receive mail, then add a catchall entry: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom @domain.com bounce You can define "bounce" in /etc/mail/aliases, or just leave it undefined (since it will probably bounce anyway).
