I'm trying to figure out why my sendmail catch-all alias does not work. i
have:
@mydomainname.com myusername
as the last line in my /etc/mail/virtusertable and I did rebuild the
virtusertable db by running:
makemap -r /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
I try to send a test message to some random email address that doesn't
exist and it gets bounced by my mail server saying user doesn't exist.
I tried testing the mapping out by running "sendmail -bt" and doing this:
---
# sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> /map virtuser randomname at mydomainname.com
map_lookup: virtuser (randomname at mydomainname.com) no match (0)
---
(note: i'm replacing my real domain name with "mydomainname.com" for this
email).
If I add the randomname at mydomainname.com to virtusertable and rebuild the
db emails and mapping work fine.
Any tips on how to properly diagnose this?
