I think the following paragraph from the sendmail.org page on virtual hosting may be helpful: % [See: http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html] % % Note 1: if you have a local user, say sam, and there is no % key for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and no catch-all key for % @yourdomain.com, then sendmail will fall back to the local % user sam when resolving [EMAIL PROTECTED] To prevent this, % you must use either a catch-all key or an explicit key for % [EMAIL PROTECTED]; the error:nouser example above may be % useful in this instance. You have to specify a "catch-all" rule for the rest of the a.net or the b.com domain, with something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stan @a.net error:nouser No such user here [EMAIL PROTECTED] stan @b.com error:nouser No such user here > Notice that there is not entry in virtusertable for [EMAIL PROTECTED], yet > mail addressed to that address is acepted and deliverd (as are the ones > I _want_ to work) to the local user stan. A similar, since you have c.com as a local host name (virtual or not) but no virtusertable entries, so Sendmail assumes all @c.com addresses can be delivered to existing local users. - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
