| Post subject: | Sendmail not reading /etc/mail/virtusertable.db |
I have sendmail set up and it doesn't appear to be reading the virtusertable.db Let's say I have a domain blink48.com, and a user "joeuser-blink48". And I want mail going to joeuser@blink48.com to go to the user "joeuser-blink48" I have an entry in the virtusertable like so: joeuser@blink48.com joeuser-blink48 I compile the virtusertable.db file, and then restart sendmail. But when I connect to port 25 locally and try to send mail to joeuser@blink48.com it doesn't work, telling me the user does not exist. However, when I send mail to joeuser-blink48@blink48.com, it does work. I'm guessing that somehow sendmail is ignoring what is in /etc/virtusertable.db and thereby not actually knowing that joeuser@blink48.com should exist (virtually)? Could anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe there is a sendmail config issue I am ignoriing. I'd appreciate it greatly. |

Maybe it's not enabled in your sendmail.mc? You should have something like this in your sendmail.mc: Code: FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl You then need to run m4 to generate the sendmail.cf file; The Makefile in /etc/mail in Debian, Fedora Core, and (I presume) CentOS can do that for you. |

rjp, Thanks for the reply. I check the .mc file and it had it enabled. However, I recompiled the .cf file and it works now! I have some other config issues that I need to work through, but at least this one is out of the way. I've used many mail servers and even administered a few existing ones, but I never had to build one from scratch. Thanks for your help! |
