I suppose you could create the accounts with valid 8char ids and then setup /etc/virtusertable to allow all of the >8char ids to work. So if you setup a valid account called 'user' and you want mail sent to 'superlongusername' to go to the 'user' account, you would put the following in /etc/virtusertable: superlongusername@yourdomain user@yourdomain Then you would just do a 'makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable' to create a .db file for sendmail. You may need to restart the sendmail daemon for the changes to take affect. Just an idea... and I'm sure you'll get 10-20 more that are better before this reaches you... that's the beauty of this list. :) --- Mike Hoskins Kettering University SEI Data Network Services, Inc.
