- sendmail question
- Posted by Jørn Dahl-Stamnes on January 20th, 2004
We got a RH 7.3 server running sendmail. Our /etc/mail/mailertable look
something like this:
domain.no smtp:[server1.domain.no]
sub1.domain.no smtp:[server1.domain.no]
sub2.domain.no smtp:[anotherserver.domain.no]
... etc
However, the server1.domain.no, which was a exchange server, is not longer in
use and has been removed. And all mail to this server shall be dropped.
Today, the mail is put into the queue and it fills up the RH server with a
lots of mail (I counted nearly 200 sendmail deamons trying to send mail to
server1.domain.no).
Is it possible to have all mails that should be forwared to sever1.domain.no
to be deleted (forwared to /dev/null)?

There is a way but I forget how to change the sendmail.cf or other tables
to do it. You should post your query to the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup.

sendmail.mc to change the sendmail.cf. You can use the
sendmail.cf as your template to rebuild the sendmail.cf but it is more
trouble than using the sendmail.mc. The real problem was knowing what
changes were required in sendmail to send mail to a null maildrop.
For RH, I thought maybe the OP might use the /etc/mail/virtusertable
$ cat > /etc/mail/virusertable <<END
@domain.no anotherserver.domain.no
@sub1.domain.no anotherserver.domain.no
$ makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
and turn the Feature on in sendmail
FEATURE(virtusertable, hash /etc/mail/virtusertable)
