Sendmail can check aliases for any mailer with F=A flag set. The flag is set by default only for local mailer. You can set the flag for another mailer using line as below in your *.mc file: MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`CYRUSV2', `+A') > We are currently using 2.2.12 (v2.2.12-Invoca-RPM-2.2.12-3.RHEL4.1 to be > precise).

It is "techically possible" to make sendmail check cyrus mailox and alias existence *before* sending reply to "RCPT TO:". The solution below (so far) checks only for cyrus mailbox existence: http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html -- [pl2en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi@xxxxxxxxxxxx : anfi@xxxxxxxx http://anfi.homeunix.net/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/andfil ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
