mails directed to users who don't exist as real users

[aaronde]

Hi,

I have installed sendmail, but by default, sendmail will reject e-mails directed to users who don't exist as real users or as aliases.

I want sendmail to accept all incoming email and redirect mail for unknown users to a particular user such as postmaster.

How do I do this?

Thanks Alot!!!!

Hey,

As it is all unknown user mails already redirects to root@yourhostname.com
You can set alias for root user as postmaster in /etc/aliases so that mails will appear on both root@yourhostname.com and postmaster@yourhostname.com
But i guess you need to create an user account for postmaster then
