Is it possible to configure sendmail to send mail to another machine if there is no entry in the aliases* file or no aliases* file exists? I am thinking that a site with multiple UNIX machines where users want mailboxes might want to have a master aliases* file on one machine and have all mail routed there. The sendmail on this aliases server would then send to the proper machine. -- James Strickland | Systems Programmer DSAC-FSD | DLA Systems Automation Center P. O.

Yes -- change the definition of the "local" mailer to forward to the master machine. Names will resolve as local, get looked up in the alias file (or .forward files), and then when processed will get forwarded. eric
