I have sendmail running on a dmz system and would like to use addresses
like user@junk.com. I have an MX record set up for dmz.junk.com and
this server can receive messages directly from the Internet. I would
now like to forward these messages to an internal email hub
(internal.junk.com) that would forward messages to Exchange and other
unix systems. I want internal.junk.com to accept messages from
dmz.junk.com using the same address, user@junk.com. I have looked at
mailertable and virtual domains but it does not seem to work.

What am I doing wrong or is there another way to accomplish the same
think.

Thanks

Dave

The dmz.junk.com recieved the message as user@junk.com. It was then
forwarded to internal.junk.com and at that time the message had an
address of user@internal.junk.com and not user@junk.com. My guess is
that I am missing something simple or made a dumb mistake.

Thanks

mailertable is the one to use.
But what doesn't work? The forwarding or the receiving?

What does your mailertable look like?

Mine looks like this:

mydomain.xxx <TAB> esmtp:[my.internal.host]

(no, I'm not in the porn industry).
The <TAB> is important btw.

You probably used virtusertable (with an entry inappropriate for this)
instead of mailertable. For mailertable lookup to happen, the
destination domain must *not* be in /etc/mail/local-host-names or
otherwise added to class {w}. (Which means that you need to allow
relaying to it e.g. via access db, this isn't allowed based on the
mailertable entry alone.) Virtusertable rewrites the envelope recipient
address, mailertable does not.
