Sendmail Configuration Quistion

[Ramesh.K.R.]

Hi,

I want to configure the sendmail such that, it sends "only one" mail to a user, who is in more than one alias.( i.e. when the mail is sent to all the aliases, to which this user belogs to.)
Is this possible?? if so, how ??

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ramesh.K.R.

Hi Ramesh,

I spoke with an sendmail expert and it seams that it is not possible to configure sendmail like you want ;-(

Sorry.

Hi,

I don't really understand your question. If you have two or more aliases which contain the same user (independant if this is a local or remote user), the mail will only be sent once!
How do you alias by /etc/mail/aliases or do you mean forwarding by .forward files?

Kind regards,
Birgit

Hi,

Thanks a lot Armin. I was also of the same openion. But, i wanted to check with the experts, just in case.

Birgit-- Armin has perfectly understood my quistion. Actually, i wanted to know wheather a user can receive "only one" mail, eventhough he is in many aliases. Normally, if you are in many aliases, and the mail is sent to all these, you will be getting so many copies of the mail. This i wanted to avoid, if it was possible!!

Thanks & Regards,
