Can this be done


Hi guys and gals

I am wanting to allow someone to send mail out through my sytem via a webmail interface ( my girlfriend ) but dont need to set up a user account for her.

She has an account on another machine that is the actual mailserver but i am using sendmail on a different machine so when she trys to send it bounces back saying user unknown..

Can i do this somehow via an alies or virtual user ?? System is redhat 7.2

Thanks
Andrew

make her name an alias for a name on the system

But why not add her username?
