Diverting email to a catch-all
in [Sendmail]

Prev: about c.m.sendmail etiquette [Was: problem with pipes in /etc/aliases [alternative: mailpost mailer?]]
Next: implementing sender authentication--HOW to on SENDMAIL
From: data345 on 29 Jan 2010 15:28 I have sendmail running on RedHat. It's main purpose is to receive email from an application, or system messages on the local machine, and then send those emails onto an Exchange server which unfortunately acts as the mail hub for my place of work. Some of those emails we don't want sent to certain users, because they don't like getting spammed (it's a test instance of the application). Is there a way I can divert those emails? I tried the aliases file, but it only accepts local addresses to alias to. Is there another possibility? I don't want to turn sendmail off altogether, because I still want system messages to get sent. === Al

If so you may like to see this section: $ grep -A 8 compat_check /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README If that's not what you wanted please give a more detailed view of the setup and problems :-) |
