How to setup any user account?

[needahandlebad]

Hi. I would like sendmail to catch mail that are for any user. ie: sales@myserver.com or group@myserver.com. At the moment it is only accepting mail for myusername@myserver.com. Any help would be appreciated guys. TIA

Hi, I'm not proficient in sendmail, so I'm just guessing...

You could try an entry in the virtualusertable (mine is in /etc/mail), something like:

@myserver.com myusername@myserver.com

According to Webmin, "Address mappings are similar to aliases, but are more suited to a system that handles multiple email domains."

You need to define a LUSER_RELAY in the sendmail.mc, if you're not sure of the syntax I'll post it for you. This will catch mail for any "unknown" account on your mail system. If you want to re-direct mail from known accounts use your aliases file:
sales: catchall
group: catchall
Run sendmail -bi to hash to db

Here is the syntax:

define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:someone@yourserver.com')dnl

Run the sendmail.mc thru the m4 preprocessor to generate a new sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail.
