Hi all, Does sendmail support virtual-non-unix-users setup? Any URL about it? I tried to ask in #sendmail channel, but nobody answered. I google around, but, all url only talks about virtual domain and mapping to unix users.

If you have a mailbox system that does not depend on unix users existing (the Cyrus IMAPd is such a critter, complex though it is) then Sendmail can deliver to those mailboxes. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave at xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The system has to have at least a unix account for permissions and ownership unless you plan to the emails somewhere other than the filesystem like a database.
