Yikes, my sendmail skills be a bit rusty.

From my main Postfix SMTP heads, I am sending just a couple select emails (primarily support emails) off to a server that receives them and pipes them into the support software. So far this totally works perfectly and I am pretty happy with the configuration. However, in order for sendmail on the support server to receive those emails I have to place them in the virtusertable of course, but I also have to activate their domain in the local-host-names file. That then causes sendmail to consider itself as the destination server for that whole domain.

Is there a way to make sendmail receive email for select addresses without making it think it's the server for the whole domain?

This server is only receiving email from two specific smtp servers, so I wonder if I could just permit relaying? Wonder if that would just cause a giant loop though.

Thanks for your ideas!

Hi,

I'm not very familiar with postfix, but (if aliases works like sendmail) you can define those accounts in the aliases file like
where x.x.x.x is the sendmail box IP.
Then you can use the sendmail to run the support software as you do now, without the need to use a domain

Regards
