You can do this with sendmail by user in /etc/mail/virtualusertable. You should see the file /etc/mail/virtualusertable.sample for some explanations of this file. The virtualuser database is read first by sendmail, before aliases. Also the virtualusertable is read serially from top to bottom, so you can specific user maps before a general map for the rest of a domain. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I am using sendmail and procmail. Can anyone think of some way I can cause something like this to happen for just one user, ideally in a .procmailrc file? We use postfix and transport maps to accomplish this for internal mail routing (bugzilla and RT messages go to an internal web server, user messages to our internal mailserver). The map would look something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]smtp:[ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM] mydomain.comlocal I don't know how to accomplish similar routing with sendmail. In order to solve this completely at the user level, you could write a little bit of perl that opens an SMTP connection to the server of your choosing. You could then use .forward or .procmailrc or whatever to pipe the incoming messages to this script.

I'm not really sure what you asking here, ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM doesn't even have an mx record. If this person has a gmail account, just forward it to his gmail address, IIRC he has to configure the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address as one of his own addresses to prevent google seeing it as spam. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
