Hello,

I would like to configure sendmail in order when a message that has various mail recipients that go to the same account, they are all delivered.

Now when I send a message to various recipients (recipient1@domain.com, recipient2@domain.com, recipient3@domain.com) and all three recipients are related to the same user (catch-all@domain.com) only one message is delivered.

What I would like is that three messages where all delivered to catch-all@domain.com.

I've searched everywhere and couln't find anything.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Narcís
 
You can use your aliases file (look in /etc or /etc/mail) (or the virtuser.db) to do this. This way is simpler.
Here is an example of how you do it in aliases:
recipient1: usernameX
recipient2: usernameX
recipient3: usernameX
Run newaliases or sendmail -bi from a command line to save your changes to the aliases.db
Mail for recipient1,2 & 3 will now be sent to the mailbox called usernameX.

Hello RhinoKiller,

Thanks for your reply but the problem is that I need to get all emails into the same usernames as we are running a webmail and everything has to go to the same account.

So what I would need is to get three separated messages into catch-all account.

Any Ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Narcís
 
I assumed you were using sendmail for the backend of the web mail system.

No, I use sendmail, but backend is a webmail script that collects mail from catch-all account.

Still trying to solve it, anybody has any suggestions?

Regards,

Narcís
