The reason why my first patch didn't work with aliases that expanded into a non-existant local user was because the right-hand side of the alias didn't have a host name.
t1: alainx => not OK, no hostname t2: [email protected] => ok t3: [email protected] => also ok The new version of the patch now works in all cases: 1. If a local domain name is attached to the recipient, that one is used, so servers with multiple names in class w preserve the correct name 2. If a local domain name is not attached to the recipient, $j ("canonical" local host name) is used instead. ** Patch added: "preserve_luser_host.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sendmail/+bug/1031803/+attachment/3246639/+files/preserve_luser_host.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031803 Title: preserve_luser_host does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sendmail/+bug/1031803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
