I hope this doesn't turn into yet another sendmail versus ... iis? or
whatnot war, but what I want to do is to make sendmail accept
blc-submailbox at q.dyndns.org
work like the usual "+" notation ala "blc+submailbox at q.dyndns.org" as most
people are familiar with. I am clueless at sendmail.cf decyphering but I
have a feeling these recipies in my stock config file:
R<@> $+ + $* < @ $* . >
$: < $(virtuser $1 + * @ $3 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 + $2 < @ $3 . >
R<@> $+ + $* < @ $* . >
$: < $(virtuser $1 @ $3 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 + $2 < @ $3 . >
R<@> $+ < @ $+ . > $: < $(virtuser @ $2 $@ $1 $: @ $) > $1 < @ $2 . >
have something to do with it. What will I need to add for both + and - to
work? My guess is to replace some of the " + " with " - " but i'm just
making random guesses :)
Oh, the reasoning behind this "hack" is to satisfy the stupid websites
that don't like people putting +'s in their usernames but take hyphens
fine. Fine, I'll put a hyphen in and make my mailer do the same thing.
Grr.
Thanks,
