There's probably a better way to do this, but long ago when I was trying to keep mail from bouncing back to people, the way I found to do it was to put code in the checkcompat() (check the spelling of that) function that replaced the address I wanted to bounce the mail to. (At the time I was modifying that function anyway to do some custom filtering.) I tried to use various rewrite rules to accomplish this to no avail. Someone wiser than I must know the clean way to do this.

Only when I try it: it doesn't work. I have sendmail running and as soon as I try to add external addresses: it complaints.... about external addresses. Both domains are in my sendmail.cw file. Can you give me hints on how to work this out? > > But what I'm LOOKING for is an alias or sendmail setup that will catch all > incoming Email that will normally bounce back to the sender because the > user account or a matching alias does not exist, and redirect the message > to another user account or alias... I understand... but thought this has to be setup in a virtual user table or a virtual host table.... I've done some reading about this, but couldn't get it running. So I would appreciate some hints (would be nice for you too,eh?) Herman
