You don't have to accept email for that domain as local (listed in sendmail.cw or class W). I have much the same setup for netscum.org.uk and the people who do your email redirect actually rewrite the smtp envelope to whatever domain you specified. So as long as sendmail accepts whatever email address you've had it rewritten to you'll be fine. Simon> 2) Similarly what about majordomo? Currently majordomo runs as Simon> majordomo@child.demon.co.uk with maillist-L@child.demon.co.uk Simon> OK, I'll have to tell the list members the new Simon> address. Presumably if I name the linux box as w-c-f.org.uk Simon> then majordomo will name the lists as maillist-L@w-c-f.org.uk Simon> etc or maillist-L@somename.w-c-f.org.uk if I call it Simon> somename.w-c-f.org.uk? Majordomo will dealt with whatever lists it's given to my knowledge (when you set up the alias remember you tell it what email address it's serving). It will deal with list@box.demon.co.uk and list@box.co.uk in the same way if someone rewrites the smtp envelope box.co.uk to box.demon.co.uk.
