I wonder if over time I managed to turn it off.
What's the config option so that sendmail accepts mail to a user's "Full Name"
field?
(like mine is "Ben Kamen" -- so "ben.ka...@benjammin.net" should work - but it
doesn't.
Sendmail was acquired last October by Proofpoint. So far, I haven't seen much impact and
Sendmail, Inc. was commercial before that supporting Opensource as well. One of the
"good" examples of a company built on open source that seems to do a good job
of supporting the community and still keeping the lights on.
I'm not aware of a "full name" option (doesn't mean it doesn't exist) but you
could add a file called virtusertable and put in a line that routes the alias to your
local account such as:
ben.ka...@benjammin.net \bkamen
Then compile it, etc.
Your sendmail.mc will need something like this line which activates the feature
and tells it the hash is in /etc/mail/virtusertable.db
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl
Yep -- know all about the virtual user table... we're like this (crossing
fingers)
But there used to be a built in feature (somewhere) in Sendmail that did from
the user's Account info in /etc/passwd.
Hmmm...
Thanks KAM.
