Hi everyone,
I was trying to check the list archives for some hints, but it seems
that that server is having some 'difficulties' at the moment, and
isn't responding.
I am currently in the process of setting up another Cyrus/IMAP server,
as I've been (personally) running Cyrus/Sendmail for a few years now
with good results. I had the usual sendmail+virtdomains+cyrus hoops
to jump through, but now have THAT working all right (by way of a
mailertable entries, i.e.
mydomain.ca cyrusv2d:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
The problem is that for this to WORK, mydomain.ca must not be
considered a "local domain" (i.e. it must not be in local-host-names),
since this results in a rewrite that strips the 'host' portion of the
address off, and then Cyrus rejects the message with an 'unknown
mailbox' error.
And all of this ultimately means that I can't use sendmail "aliases"
(for non-local addresses), which I need in order to redirect such
things as postmaster, root, etc. to a particular user.
Have I missed something simple here? I've tried following the
instructions at
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/install-virtdomains.html
but that is where I am getting stuck...

If you not use mailertable and put the domain in the local-host-names
the aliases would work (even for vhosts in cyrus).
Also put,
define(`confCHECK_ALIASES', `True')dnl <= This checks the aliasesfile
left side of the aliases
in you sendmailcf.mc file
Also change the cyrusv2d mailer in sendmail.cf to,
Mcyrusv2d, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, E=\r\n,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,
A=FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
The try to add aliases in the sendmailalises file like
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And type, newaliases.
Test.
Done
sendmail -bt
/parse [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if you get an answer like
mailer cyrusv2, user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if your cyrususer is [EMAIL PROTECTED] you are done
if you get an answer like
mailer cyrusv2, user user
if your cyrususer are [EMAIL PROTECTED] you need a localrule that not strip
away the domain
