People, I want to configure sendmail for incoming mail. I want to funnel all mail destined for a specific domain to a catchall account. On my FreeBSD 5.3 box I looked in /etc/mail/ I found this file: /etc/mail/virtusertable.sample and studied it. I made this file: /etc/mail/virtusertable I put 1 line in it: @mydomain.com catchall I want ... any mail sent to @mydomain.com to land here /var/mail/catchall I assume I am using the right syntax; true? Anyway, I bounced sendmail with the Makefile I found in /etc/mail When I send mail to spam@mydomain.com the mail just ends up in the dead.letter file of the sender. When I send mail to a valid user, the mail does get delivered to the right file in /var/mail/ So, how do I setup a catchall mail account? I sense that I'm supposed to do this via /etc/mail/virtusertable but maybe I'm putting in the wrong syntax or I need to configure some other file. If you have any tips for me, please send them to me. Thanks, -Dan
