help with local email

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Chuck:

Wonder if your problem is related to mine? In any case here's a stab at
a possibility--not necessarily a right answer.

I noticed, while working on my sendmail problem, that there is a field in
the sendmail configuration file (/etc/sendmail.cf on my system) to specify
which addressees should be handled locally. I didn't read the docs on
this but understand it to mean that you could specify usernames and
perhaps a unique local domain e.g. x.y.z.com which would have to be set
up, of course.

PS: Just changing the field doesn't change the setting. You need to
recompile the configuration with m4 and restart sendmail for it to take
effect.

The invention of the printing press has been named the crowning achievment
of the past millenium. Yet, electronic publishing will soon eclipse it.
