Sendmail - Redirect Mail From Specific Sender

To:

I have the need to put mail from a specific sender (som...@where.com) into
a specific mailbox regardless of the intended recipient (To:), not aliasing.

Example -> Mail From: som...@where.com intended for (To:)
us...@mydomain.com is delivered to us...@mydomain.com. All other e-mail to
us...@mydomain.com is delivered normally.

Can this be done?? If so, which config file would need to be edited.

Thanks - Ken

Take a look at
http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/smarttab.html

Use LOCAL_RULE_0 insted of LOCAL_NET_CONFIG in smarttable.m4 to make
smarrtable route message even for local recipients.

Will this do what the OP requested? Smarttab seems to determine which
smart-host the message is forwarded to rather than rewriting the
recipient address. The smarttable file has entries such as:

te...@mike.com popular.mailhub.com

whereas the OP (and I) would like to use entries like:

te...@mike.com alte...@mydomain.com

To:

1) smartable selects smart host

I suggested using LOCAL_RULE_0 insted of default LOCAL_NET_CONFIG.
It will make smarttable work for any recipients (including local
recipients).

2) rewriting recipients

You can use the following smarttable entry:
som...@where.com local:user2

If you want to send messages to another host then use
som...@where.com local:some_local_alias

smarttable accepts the same syntax of RHS as mailertable.

P.S. I think I was not wrong [this time] :-)

Yes that works fine. Many thanks.

Oops no it doesn't quite. The incoming message is recognised and the
recipient rewritten, but that name isn't then routed according to
mailertable - sendmail tries to deliver locally.

To illustrate, /etc/mail/smarttab says:

al...@virus.scan.company local:virusalert

and in /etc/aliases we have:

virusalert: virus...@our.domain.com

while /etc/mailertable includes:

our.domain.com smtp:[our.internal.mta]

Sendmail attempts to deliver the message to user virusalert on the
external mta which doesn't exist.

Sendmail version is 8.12.9 BTW.

What is reported by the command below:
sendmail -d27.2 -d60.1 -fa...@virus.scan.company -bv postmaster

1) Try to use ~virusalert/.procmailrc (it will change envelope sender)
or use "set/change envelope sender alias"

virusalert: \
"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f postmaster virus...@our.domain.com"

OR
2) add custom R lines to exclude virus...@our.domain.com recipient
from smarttable lookups

In the above output smarttable does not see $f set via -f command line
option [$f is non set (empty)].

The above command sets $f on my home system (sendmail-8.13.0.Beta2).

Which sendmail version do you use ?

8.12.9 (Mandrake 9.2).

I've now got it working using your second suggestion, by creating a user
called virusalert on the MTA and using the ~/.procmailrc to forward
messages on.
