Sometimes delays are unavoidable. Some SMTP listeners try to call DNS on the From-address hostname as a way of checking that the address is valid.

M6. How do I get multidrop mode to work with majordomo?

+ +In order for sendmail to execute the command strings in the majordomo +alias file, it is necessary for sendmail to think that the mail it +receives via SMTP really is destined for a local user name. A normal +virtual-domain setup results in delivery to the default mailbox, +rather than expansion through majordomo.

+ +Michael <michael@bizsystems.com> gave us a recipe for dealing +with this case that pairs a run control file like this:

+ +

+poll your.pop3.server proto pop3:
+    no envelope no dns
+    localdomains virtual.localdomain1.com virtual.localdomain2.com ...
+    user yourISPusername is root * here,
+    password yourISPpassword fetchall
+
+ +with a hack on your local sendmail.cf like this:

+ +

+#############################################
+#  virtual info, local hack for ruleset 98  #
+#############################################
+
+# domains to treat as direct mapped local domain
+
+CVvirtual.localdomain1.com virtual.localdomain2.com ...

+R< error : $- $+ > $*   $#error $@ $1 $: $2
+R< $+ > $+ < @ $+ >     $: $>97 $1
+
+ +This ruleset just strips virtual domain names off the addresses of incoming +mail. Your sendmail must be 8.8 or newer for this to work. Michael +says:

+ +

+I use this scheme with 2 virtual domains and the default ISP +user+domain and service about 30 mail accounts + majordomo on my +inside pop3 server with fetchmail and sendmail 8.83

X1. Why is fetched mail being logged with my name, not the real From address?
