Does anybody know if I can trick the alias file to produce an error to
the sending SMTP server?
This works well with virtusertable, but I am not sure about the
/etc/aliases format.
Something like this:
user: error: nouser 550 No such user here
Or, is there another handy way to cause an error to the sending server
for a username that actually exists but should not get mailed.
Thanks,
Hannu

Ugly but fast and simple way:
1) create "error entries" in virtusertable

virtusertable:
nouser@localhost.localdomain error:nouser 550 No such user here

2) use aliases to the "error entries"

aliases:
userx: nouser
