The way we use it (we being a small ISP), anyway, goes like this: foo.com smtp:mail.foo.com bar.com local blah.com smtp:other.relay.com oldandtired.org uucp:mail.oldandtired.org Where the domain to be mapped is on the left, and the right is :relay The virtusertable is an alias file for the domains. We use it like: @foo.com user@domain.com user2@bar.com localuser user1@bar.com other_user@domain.com @bar.com error Where the left side is the alisa, and the right side is the account to which the alias forwards. yrs, Todd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
