I'm Currently using freebsd 3.4-Stable. I am mapped a entire
domainname to one alias and i mapped that one alias to a email program so
whathappens is that when an email comes in to *@mydomain.com it sould go
to the program.

This works to the most part with the exception of the email that
gets sent bounces back with a 500 error and says "You cannot email
directly to a program", the exact error is:

"Jan 29 06:45:21 kiki sendmail[42231] : GAA42231: <nearz@exactemail.com>... 
Cannot mail directly to programs" 

Anyone know i can email directly to programs?
(im using the copy of sendmail which came with that version at that time.

In the /etc/mail/virtusertable file i map all email to the local user 
'mymail' with "@exactemail.com                 mymail".
 
Then in the /etc/aliases file i map mymail to the program with
"mymail: "|/hd2/exactemail/cgi-bin/mail.cgi""
