For example, if the virtuser table contained: info@foo.com foo-info info@bar.com bar-info @baz.org jane@elsewhere.net then mail addressed to info@foo.com will be sent to the address foo-info, mail addressed to info@bar.com will be delivered to bar-info, and mail addressed to anyone at baz.org will be sent to jane@elsewhere.net. The username from the original address is passed as %1 allowing: @foo.org %1@elsewhere.com meaning someone@foo.org will be sent to someone@elsewhere.com. All the host names on the left hand side (foo.com, bar.com, and baz.org) must be in $=w. The default map definition is: hash -o /etc/virtusertable A new definition can be specified as the second argument of the FEATURE macro, such as FEATURE(virtusertable, dbm -o /etc/mail/virtusers) jmb -- Jonathan M.
