If the user does not exist locally, then sendmail would issue a DSN stating unknown user (again, as you have discovered). Based on my understanding of your post, it sounds like you need to implement a combination of sendmail's virtusertable feature and/or mailertable feature to achieve your goals. Especially if your wanting to queue mail for later delivery using ETRN. The redhat supplied sendmail.cf already has these features enabled, you just need to add the appropriate entries to the virtusertable/mailertable config files. See either /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README or the following sendmail link for a description of how to configure these features: http://www.sendmail.org/%7Eca/email/doc8.12/cf/m4/index.html BTW: Have you read the virtual hosting link at sendmail.org??? http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html Steve Cowles -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
