Hopefully you > haven't.i my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned masquerading really. Once you've setup your maps you can test them like this sendmail -bt (enters rule testing mode, ctrl-D to exit) you then enter the rules numbers with commas to separate followed by the address you want to test. Older versions of sendmail always called ruleset 3 first even if you didn't ask, newer versions don't and will tell you they don't. Try this at the ruletesting prompt. 3,0 fred bloggs <fred@there.com> ruleset 3 discards the name part and ruleset 0 decides on the type of mailer to use $#, the host to send to $@ and the user $: The other way of testing the maps is at the same prompt do /map virtuser user@local.host or /map generics user To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
