>>> Oliver Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/08/04 03:41 AM >>> Hi guys.
I have a question regarding mail aliases, virtual users and cyrus virtual domains. I have configured my Cyrus IMAPD 2.2.2 install to deliver mail using virtual domains. It does this by relaying the received messages into the cyrus mailer using Sendmail's "mailertable". Ie the domain is not in /etc/mail/local-host-names, but is instead in /etc/mail/access as "domain RELAY". However, sendmail does not reference the virtualusertable or aliases databases when relaying mail. I want to create 'aliases' like [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED] that deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I do this with sendmail and cyrus configured to support virtual domains?? Is there a way of doing it with LDAP mail routing? Or will I have to hack sendmail to treat the Cyrus mailer as "local" and yet still pass the domain portion of the email address when trying to deliver mail to the LMTP socket. If I set cyrus to be the local mailer sendmail seems to strip the @domain before delivering and so lmtpd can not find the user's mailbox. Is there something special I need to do in the Mailer def in sendmail.cf?

An ldif such as: dn: cn=user1,dc=domain,o=com objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient mailLocalAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailLocalAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailLocalAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailHost: mail.domain.com mailRoutingAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cn: user1 would do what you want. Since mailLocalAddress is not a single-value in LDAP, you can send as many "aliases" as you want to the mailRoutingAddress. It works fine for my installation with Cyrus IMAP and Virtual Domains. As far as sending the full address (with the @domain), you will find a line in the cyrus mailer in sendmail.cf that reads: S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrToSMTP, E=\r\n, simply changing it to: S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n, should take care of that. There are instructions in the archives for this also. Mike
