This will generate a local mail to [email protected]. > openbsd# cat /etc/mail/smtpd.conf > table virtuals file:/etc/mail/virtual > listen on lo0 > listen on socket > action "central" mda "/usr/bin/smtp -s smtp://10.10.20.10 %{dest}" \ > user _smtpd virtual <virtuals> > match from local for any action "central" This match also internal local generated mails like bounces, not shure what about general forwords. So your mail goes in match this roule, get's forworded to [email protected] then ther is an expantion problem. A better abroach would be to match the socket specific and forword to a existing user. So something like: /etc/mail/virtual: @openbsd.int.example.org reg @openbsd reg @localhost reg smtpd.conf: table virtuals file:/etc/mail/virtual listen on socket tag localmails action action "central" mda "/usr/bin/smtp -s smtp://10.10.20.10 %{dest.user}@int.example.org" \ user _smtpd virtual <virtuals> match tag localmails for any action "central" I have not tetsted this, but I think you get the idea.
