How to allow selected users to send a email to a particular IP


Hi ,

I have a alias ( allourusers ) in my /etc/aliases consisting of all users on my mail server ( sendmail ).

Can i restrict that only a particular user can be able to send mail to this alias ?

Example : In my /etc/aliases file i have the content

<----------------------------------------------->

allmyusers: :include: /etc/mail/userlist

<----------------------------------------------->

With the userlist file having names of all my system users.

How do i enable only a particular user ( say .. user100 ) to be able
to send email to the alias "allmyuser" ... others should not be able to send email to this alias .

Regards,
Xanthium.

Dunno , the example is external vs internal users but maybe this can serve as a starting point for it.
