Ummm..RTFM? http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.29 A few words of caution: - As I see it, this a problem of multidrop combined with multi-rcpt. You might have to put the procmail file for each account that has multidrop. - There is a typo on the sendmail.org page. The following on the page: formail -i X-Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Should read: formail -i X-Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Notice the quote *after* the $ENV_TO$DOMAIN. - This causes sendmail to make multiple copies of the message as you want. Since they are identical copies, except the X-Envelope-To header, any message identification headers are also recplicated...e.g. Message-Id. Depending on the mail usage you have, this might cause problems. - The solution works on my sendmail server - your mileage may vary. Am not sure. Unless I am mistaken, the page says that virtual users should be defined as: @domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] This puts the envelope information in the mail address. The mailer understands this as a email address extension([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Then procmail can take this as an argument and deliver it using the additional X-Envelope-To: header. But, in most control panel software like the cobalt one I am worried about, the default virtuser entry for the catch-all account that is created is of the form: @domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] The envelope information is lost *before* delivery, so sendmail while receiving on behalf of domuser has no clue as to the intended envelope recipient. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharyahttp://www.sandipb.net sandip at puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.

Sandip Bhattacharya [10/1/2003 12:30 AM] : But my question is that is there a way to cajole/coerce sendmail to make multiple copies of the mail locally (according to the envelope recipient) therefore keeping envelope information intact before delivering them? Issue for your local delivery agent - procmail or whatever. Have fetchmail handoff to procmail directly (see man fetchmail) - that might help. ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
