Re: Sendmail Question- want username@yourdomain.com as login?

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

So to summarize, 

* you have created accounts on RH that have "@" userid's
in the userid.

* Email isn't reaching those accounts, because sendmail is attempting
to deliver to 
       username
on the loal machine, instead of
       username yourdomain com
which is literally the name of that account.

Wow!  I can't help but feel you're on the wrong track.  Perhaps you've
seen a email client that used the username yourdomain com syntax but
actually logged onto the pop server using "username", and used
"@yourdomain.com" part to figure out the hostname instead of making the
user fill out a separate field with the hostname.

To be honest, I don't know why you would want to use this, but perhaps you
should post to the comp.mail.sendmail usenet group.  Maybe someone there
would have some ideas.
