Sendmail and user accounts containing the domain -->

I have create user accounts under Linux as user@domain.com, which
creates their home directories just fine. I can retrieve mail for
these accounts just fine but Sendmail is refusing to find these
accounts. It seems to shop off the domain name by default and only
looks for accounts using the "user" part of the address.

How do I configure Sendmail to deliver mail to users named
"user@domain.com" instead of just "user"?

Didn't work. It's still delivering mail to "user" instead of
"user@domain.com". Both accounts are active under Linux.

Hmm. Create new mailer to sendmail config.


Mails to host are directed to

Mlocal, ....


on sendmail config.

That line referes to rulesets: S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL


These rulesets (specially EnvToL) strips domain part.

So you need new mailer

Mlocaldomain, ....

which refers to different rulesets.

And then on mailertable or on sendmaal.cf directly
direct mails for @domain to localdomain -mailer.

FEATURE(`virtusertable')

virtusertable entries:
user@example.com user\@example.com
@example.net %1\@example.net

backslash before @ should make sendmail "not see" @ in the address as
special character.

user@example.com *WILL NOT* get ~/.forward file processing

OK [ I would prefer "local-dom" name ]

Or a small fix in cf/m4/proto.m4 to slect the new mailer
(localdomain/local-dom) for some/all local email domains.

P.S.
Standards sendmail.cf rules strip domain when selecting local mailer for
delivery even without help of "per mailer" rule sets.

That stripping is still needed for other domains which are
on $=w

user@localhost need to be delivered to 'user'
user@hostname need to be delivered to 'user'

Yes.


It seems that that "per mailer" strip domain is only needed when
local -mailer is selected from mailertable.

And even when mailertable selects local mailer, CanonLocal is called.

But if I read it correctly, CanonLocal allows user@domain passed
to local -mailer.

Didn't work. It's still delivering mail to "user" instead of
"user@domain.com". Both accounts are active under Linux.

Sorry, I misread. I thought you wanted local delivery.

I have created a *simple* hook (custom ruleset) called for local email
domains just before classic selection of local mailer via patch to
cf/m4/proto.m4.
It will allow to select local-dom mailer for *some* local domains.
Rule set 5 can be used to redirect non existing "user@example.com" to
"user" for such domains.

Would you like to *test* solution for better support of
"local account with domain in name" than offered by
virtusertable "hack"?

e.g. the solution would support aliasing and ~/.forward files (I think).

The solution would require no recompilation of sendmail binaries, it
would require patching of one m4 file used to generate sendmail.cf
[cf/m4/proto.m4] and adding 2 or 3 new m4 files to files used to
generate sendmail.cf.

I'd like to test your solution. However, the '\@\ hack works fine in
delivering received email but I can't authenticate users sending
through SMTP. It still chops off the domain part when authenticating a
sending user.

What have you configured in sasl2 configuration file for sendmail?
[ /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf ? ]

Have you tries to use sasldb for storing *separate* SMTP/POP/IMAP
passwords?
AFAIR sasldb makes sendmail require domain in SMTP AUTH.
