How to configure sendmail on a.domain.net so that: 1) users with an alias defined in /etc/mail/aliases have their messages sent to the alias; 2) users with no alias have their mail sent to user@domain.net (same username). It seems that masquerade does the part 2) but users in 1) are not sent to the alias. Best regards, Olivier
