http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail tells about adding "per virtual domain" routing entry into sendmail's mailertable. [ after it mailertable requires recompilation with makemap ] IF the virtual domain is a local email domain THEN mailertable is not consulted and sendmail (typically) checks existence of OS account (no OS account => "User unknown" ) ELSE access (table) entry is required to avoid "Relaying denied" # access (table) entry to allow accepting messages to the.virtual.domain # from anywhere to:the.virtual.domain RELAY To get list of local email domains as root execute echo '$=w' | sendmail -bt To stop sendmail from guessing list of local email domain you may use define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',`True') in sendmail.mc http://www.sendmail.org/m4/tweaking_config.html#confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES *WARNINGS* The above: a) WILL NOT configure SMTP AUTH to use LDAP [ AFAIK sendmail supports Cyrus SASL only ] b) WILL NOT make sendmail check existence of virtual mailbox in reply to "RCPT TO:" in SMTP session "a" and "b" require another configuration -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu We have lingered long enough on the shores of the Cosmic Ocean. -- Carl Sagan
