Quick Sendmail access question

[Pentland G.]

Different approach...

Instead of the access map, use virtusers.

Default recipient:  550 user does not exist at this site
dave:                   Dave at exchangeservername.yourdomain

etc.

Just a quick thought.

For either approach you must check/understand the sendmail.cw file.
