(fwd) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What this probably means is you're trying to alias on username to somewhere else not local (for example george to george@aol.com or vice versa). To set that up, you need to set up a virtual mapping - it's an option you can feed into the sendmail package and it will create a sendmail.cf file that will allow you to do this. Check www.sendmail.org for instructions on how to do it (I believe they're on there). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan A.
