This topic never ends.
Special thanks to Dale Shaw for the below (very detailed) message on the
genericstable. It worked perfectly once I ironed some kinks out (added a
GENERICS_DOMAIN()).
My last question is in regard to aliasing. All of the sendmail documention
says explicitly that the left entry in an alias file MUST be a local name.
However, in my case, the left entry uses an MX record that the machine does
not think to be local.
testmail IN MX 0 testgw.state.tn.us
then, in my genericstable I have an entry that looks like this:
userid@gateway.tnet.state.tn.us jwhyte@testmail.state.tn.us
Where gateway is the SMTP gateway to Groupwise, and userid is the
nonsensical internal userid. This works great for outbound mail through the
server. The Groupwise gateway forwards it to this box (which performs the
translation) and everything looks perfect for outbound mail.
My problem is the inbound mail. I want jwhyte@testmail.state.tn.us to be
translated to userid@gateway.tnet.state.tn.us , however when I put the
following line in /etc/aliases, it gives me the error below:
jwhyte@testmail.state.tn.us:
domain.postoffice.userid@gateway.tnet.state.tn.us
The error is: SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/aliases: line 40:
jwhyte@testmail.state.tn.us... cannot alias non-local names
What am I missing? What do I have to do to get it to think that
"testmail.state.tn.us" is a local domain? This has to be simple, but
neither Costales' nor the ops.ps document has helped me so far (I'm probably
reading the wrong sections).
TIA,
