I've turned on "FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)" and followed Tony
Green's other advice, and then got errors like this from mailq:
(hash map "Alias0": missing map file /etc/aliases.db: No such)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and realised another stuff-up (I told it to use /etc/aliases instead of
/etc/mail/aliases), so I fixed that and for the first time received some
external mail. Yippee!
How significant is the local_no_masquerade? Does it mean that if you
mail locally, and they reply locally, they won't think they need to go
externally via your ISP? That'd be good.
And, what format is the trusted users file? Plain text or must it be
fed through makemap? Is it supposed to have local login names, local
login names @ FDQN, or masqueraded names? And
README.cf:
use_ct_file Read the file /etc/mail/trusted-users file to get
the names of users that will be ``trusted'', that
is, able to set their envelope from address using -f
without generating a warning message. The actual
filename can be overridden by redefining
confCT_FILE.
What I have in my .mc file is:
#
# Deliver all local mail immediately, and queue
# all other mail.
#
# Rewrite outbound and inbound headers with the
# user database to translate local to outside
# email addresses.
