People,
I want to configure sendmail for incoming mail.
I want to funnel all mail destined for a specific domain to a catchall
account.
On my FreeBSD 5.3 box I looked in /etc/mail/
I found this file:
/etc/mail/virtusertable.sample
and studied it.
I made this file:
/etc/mail/virtusertable
I put 1 line in it:
@mydomain.com catchall
I want ...
any mail sent to @mydomain.com
to land here /var/mail/catchall
I assume I am using the right syntax; true?
Anyway, I bounced sendmail with the Makefile I
found in /etc/mail
When I send mail to spam at mydomain.com
the mail just ends up in the dead.letter file
of the sender.
When I send mail to a valid user, the mail
does get delivered to the right file in /var/mail/
So, how do I setup a catchall mail account?
I sense that I'm supposed to do this via
/etc/mail/virtusertable
but maybe I'm putting in the wrong syntax or
I need to configure some other file.
If you have any tips for me,
please send them to me.
Thanks,
-Dan
