Ah well the advice is still good. Deciding you don't want the mail at SMTP time is the golden solution everyone agrees, comparing against a domainwide userlist is the way whether it is done with mimedefang or some script that collates usernames. My mail setup is so small that I have /etc/aliases to control users and that's the end of it. I guess that's at the heart of why sendmail complexity has no payback for me but does for you. -Andy -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
