From: Will Hatcher on 21 Jun 2008 16:47 How can I make sendmail run an external program to any and all possible email addresses to my domain? Basically, my software needs to create artificial/dynamic email addresses kind of on the fly (but to my domain) that can be sent from and to eternally, so I can't create a Unix 'user' for each one with a .forward. This is making me crazy because I did something like this a while back using smrsh and so forth but can't remember how it was done, and my knowledge of the terms is so rusty that I've been looking all around but can't nail it down. Thanks, -Will

I did figure out a way after posting though, I wonder if it is evil? Basically, LUSER_RELAY seems to work, I just send that result to my custom program that then decides what to do with it. -W
