Use virtusertable to remap to plussed addresses john.doe(a)example.com -> postmasteuser+john.doe virtusertable entries: #v+ # entries for addresses required by RFC postmaster(a)example.com postmaster abuse(a)example.com abuse # entry for all remanding addresses in the domain @example.com user+%1 #v- Sendmail on Linuxes typically use procmail as local mailer program. In such configurations ~/.procmailrc script 1) will get "john.doe" in $1 2) will be called once per every recipient in example.com for multirecipient messages -- [pl>en Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)priv.onet.pl : anfi(a)xl.wp.pl It is the wisdom of crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour. -- Francis Bacon

LUSER_RELAY is simple and it may be acceptable if: * you do not need original envelope recipient information * you do not want to limit "special deliveries" only to one/some local email domains URL(s): http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3#3.29 http://anfi.homeunix.org/sendmail/sharedmailbox.html -- [pl>en Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)priv.onet.pl : anfi(a)xl.wp.pl Will your long-winded speeches never end?
