- We have 3 machines registered in the NRS, one with a Janet connection.
- I build a slave config for the two machines without Janet connections which punts any
- non local mail or mail not destined for any other NRS registered local host
- to the machine with the Janet connection, which then shoves it off to the right place.
-
- However, it would be nice to allow local email to flow between machines on-site without
- having to go through the hassle of putting them into the UK-sendmail config tables.
- (and adding them to the NRS - not something I really want to do for machines that simply
- want to exchange local email)
-
- So, how can I make the UK sendmail configs accept addresses of the form
- user@host, where host is simply in /etc/hosts in the local domain
- and not wired into the actual sendmail config.
-
- At the moment, anything like that gets chucked out with an 'Unknown Domain'
- error.....you have to build it into the config in the ether file listing all
- local ether hosts.
- Is there anyway I can specify some wildcard in the configs for each of my
- UKSM 2.1 hosts to do this?
-
- I can't see an easy way to do this from the uk-sendmail config files....
-
- Can anyone suggest a Ruleset to deal with this and whereabouts it could go in
- a typical UK SM 2.1 config file?
-
- ....thanks for listening
