In normal operation that is exactly what TMDA does -- re-injects the message via sendmail to the original envelope recipient, from the original envelope sender. I think I'm going to have to go through the archives and try to get some context on what the original problem was. I'll get back to you on this. > But during the weekend I've been a little confused...Is TMDA a SMTP daemon, > understood in the way that TMDA recieves the mail from the sender-host, and > processes the mail before handling it over to the recieving host?? No, it's not. It offers an SMTP proxy daemon, tmda-ofmipd, that mail-clients can connect to in order to send mail. The client has to be configured to use SMTP-AUTH. However, I don't believe you're using that right now, and you may not have any need to. tmda-filter operates at delivery time, after the MTA has received and queued the message and is now attempting to deliver it. It typically (for Postfix) runs from a user's dot-forward file.
