Strange sendmail behaviour

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am trying to change my sendmail configuration to deliver all "user unknown" emails to a specific account (baduser).
I added the DL definition to sendmail.mc and generated test.cf.
Then I tested this new config using:

echo who | sendmail -v -Ctest.cf noone

and the email was correctly delivered to the defined account.

I then renamed test.cf to sendmail.cf (in /etc/mail) and retested with:

echo what | sendmail -Csendmail.cf noone

and again the email was delivered to the baduser account.

Happy with this, I then restarted sendmail (via systemctl) and sent yet another email to an invalid account.

Instead of the email being delivered to baduser, I received a 550 5.1.1 user unknown reject email.

What have I missed here.

(Fedora 22 & sendmail 8.14.7/8.13.3)
