-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Remco,
The configuration described will *not* do what you want. If a user is identified as 'local', then delivery via the local mailer will be attempted *without* reference to mailer tables (or any tables other than the aliases file and any user database that you might have). The mailer table is only referenced for *non-local* mail, to over-ride any default smart-host or relay host (DR or DS) definitions. For your situation, you want mail addressed to a.domain.org to go through the mailer table, which means that a.domain.org needs to be a *non-local* domain, while b.domain.org is *local*. This is the reverse of the way that you have defined the two domains. This gives you two choices: 1: reverse the functions of the two names (make mail to a.domain.org really local and mail to b.domain.org go to c.otherdomain.org), and change the mailertable to reflect this 2: reverse sendmail's idea of which domain is local, by removing a.domain.org from class w and adding b.domain.org to class w (and also making sure that the hostname is *not* a.domain.org, which is automatically local and in class w). I hope that this helps Tim Frost On May 28, 19:18, Remco van de Meent wrote: > Subject: sendmail 8.8.5 and mailertable > Hey > > We (Hakan Ardo, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and myself) just tried to setup a > machine in Sweden, which should forward EVERY single mail from > [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the Netherlands). > > a.domain.org is a machine in Sweden. > b.domain.org is the same machine in Sweden.
