I believe I have found an error in section 27.3. of the manual (https://w= ww.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sendmail.html). The paragraph titled "/etc/ma= il/virtusertable" starts with the following words: "This database file maps mail addresses for virtual domains and users to = real mailboxes. These mailboxes can be local, remote, aliases defined in = /etc/mail/aliases, or files." This clearly implies that the RHS of an entry in the virtusertable can be= a file. I believe that this is not true. 1) Please have a look at the following conversation: https://serverfault.= com/questions/798089/is-a-file-a-valid-rhs-in-a-sendmail-virtusertable (q= uestion posted by myself). Andrzej A. Filip surely knows what he's talkin= g about, and he says that the right side of a virtusertable entry can NOT= be a file. 2) Since for certain reasons this question is extremely important to me, = I have researched it for many hours and multiple times, and I did not fin= d even one single example of a virtusertable entry where the RHS is a fil= e. So I would be very grateful if you could point me to an appropriate refer= ence, or if you could discuss that question with the Sendmail team and ev= entually fix or clarify the manual. In any case, could you please let me = know the results? Yours sincerely, Peter Pfannenschmid P.S. When replying, please make sure that your message gets authenticated= by SPF or DKIM; otherwise, my spam filters won't let it through. --------------D47856AF6C470FC56B086C36-- --ojWHh4uToWks445VnxdOTf4o5uq3PDPLk-- --WPrdLBfI8C2msvVngsoC3ioRIbToTuuKT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAle5WT0ACgkQYTEbThuE8BKdDgCbBOKVrqg2b+ofwIXriEe2Lykm SOMAn0pmr1bIbzzUfbCOlC5e1fpAn2ud =Y8Nv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WPrdLBfI8C2msvVngsoC3ioRIbToTuuKT--
