Hm, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve. Incoming mail is delivered from where to where? On which host do you change the mailname? > BUT this breaks the aliases file. "special" or system users, like > root, are not rewritten to m...@generaldomain.com, they are smarthosted > with their original user id --> r...@generaldomain.com ... What is in your aliases files? In which way are they broken? Are you referring to recipient or to sender addresses? > Probably there is a better and cleaner way to reroute local users (not > individually, please) than to forge /etc/mailname?
