Hi, I'm trying to implement fuzzy mail forwarding. My real hostname is blacks, and I have one DNS alias, horton; I would like mail sent to user@blacks to be delivered normally, and mail sent to first-last@horton to be delivered thru phquery. phquery rewrites first-last@horont to userid@host, and resubmits letter with sendmail. At first, I heard this could only be done with IDA sendmail. However, it seems to be working ok with vanilla sendmail. Can anyone tell me why I'd need IDA? - Dan K. (dank@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov) p.s. For those interested, here are context diffs showing the changes I had to make to sendmail.cf. *** /etc/sendmail.cf.noph Sat Aug 1 12:12:04 1992 --- /etc/sendmail.cf.ph Sat Aug 1 12:07:15 1992 *************** *** 34,41 **** Dj$w # Aliases for ourself !
