Hi Brian, Thanks for the help, and thanks also to Lisa Smith who also replied...
My .forward file now looks like this: \greg, mailarchive, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) get a copy, but greg and mailarchive, both local addresses do not! The relevant section of /var/log/maillog is as such: Apr 6 19:57:46 linuxserver sendmail[31373]: g36IvkA31373: from=root, size=44, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=root@localhost Apr 6 19:57:46 linuxserver sendmail[31375]: g36IvkA31373: [EMAIL PROTECTED] , ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30044, relay=www.gmlnt.com. [213.239.42.32], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (TAA21462 Message accepted for delivery) The two local recipients are not mentioned. I've tried changing the addresses to @localhost, but has not helped either. BUT... it's a complicated scenario. This is one site in a WAN of three, all using the same Domain Name. To ensure local mail is delivered locally, and not routed out to the Internet then back in, I'm using complex user routing with sendmail config (configured using linuxconf!) as follows... [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivered to greg ...and I have masquerading set as follows... linuxserver.headoffice.myclient.co.uk is masqueraded as myclient.co.uk This works for local mail routing, but makes me think if Emails were going out to the Internet, they could be addressed to @linuxserver.headoffice.myclient.co.uk and will never make it back (although I could set up DNS records to facilitate this if needed), but according to my maillog the mails for the users don't get sent out to the Internet.... but are not delivered locally either! Any further ideas very welcome!
