i have been a postfix user for several years and have decided i should learn to use sendmail. making a very basic setup that has 1 virtual mailbox (i.e. a mailbox for a user that does not have shell account on the mailserver) is giving me grief and i have not been able to fix this issue after reading all the docs i could find. i fully expect the answer is that i missed something trivial.
here is what i have tried: - make sendmail listen on all interfaces by removing the -C/etc/mail/localhost.cf from the rc.conf.local entry for starting sendmail; done by pkill -x sendmail and restarting w/ appropriate options - add the domain for which i want to accept mail to /etc/mail/local-host-names like so my-domain.net and issue pkill -HUP sendmail - add the same line to /etc/mail/relay-domains and pkill -HUP sendmail - add a line to /etc/mail/virtusertable like so [EMAIL PROTECTED] my-domain-phantom and issue makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable at this point i would expect that i could send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have it delivered. the sendmail logs dictate otherwise: Dec 31 09:16:03 host1 sendmail[10395]: kBVFG3Ne010395: from=user1, size=50, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dec 31 09:16:03 host1 sm-mta[12516]: kBVFG3cU012516: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...
