Sendmail Help needed rewriting recipient
Hi,
I would like to have all recipient addresses sent from my local host to be re-written to a specific e-mail address. In other words, i would like to have all @example.com recipient addresses (I do not host these) to be re-written to bob@example.com. Here is what I have so far:
virtusertable -->@example.com bob@example.com
I added to my sendmail.mc (virtuserable already added):
LOCAL_CONFIG
F{VirtHost}/etc/mail/virtu
virtual-domains--> example.com
I tried to run a test, but I am getting a DSN4.0.0. address error and these errors. Please help!
SYSERR(root): rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset canonify
rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset parse
rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset canonif

"bob" is not just a unix account. It is an actual account in the example.com domain. I have an application that needs to be tested in a test environment. Obviously, I don't want our customers to get these test e-mails. I want all the e-mails that go out to example.com sent to bob@example.com. I hope that makes sense.
then try saying nameoftestaccount@example.
what your doing at the moment is saying ANYTHING to example.com should go to bob@example.com - now sure how sendmail will be interpreting this - it may go into a endless recursion loop.

Found my own solution on-line.
rather than bob@example.com.
Assuming bob is a linux user account i think the bob@example.com is causing extra recursion i.e the error ?
