[plug] Mail questions

[Michael Hunt]

Hiya all,

Some questions on e-mail.

1. I have installed the Cyrus IMAP mail server and it has installed a
reconfigured deliver to Cyrus sendmail.cf file. This version of the
sendmail.cf file requires the following files:

	/etc/mail/ip_allow
	/etc/mail/name_allow
	/etc/mail/relay_allow

which obviously handle mail forwarding rules. To get sendmail to forward I
created these files (my version of RedHat 6.0 didn't have these files).
Unfortunately I don't have any doco on the format of these files and
wondering if some one with a bit more sendmail knowledge can give me a
sample or example of what gets put into these files.

2. I also plan to use fetchmail to deliver to:

	one_common_account at mydomain,
	and whoever_the_mail_is_addressed_to at mydomain.

If the account doesn't exist (i.e. the second one) then the message will be
dropped (i.e. I want a copy in the common mailbox but not in the other mail
accounts because they don't exist). The fetchmail doco talks about something
called a multidrop but I was just wondering if anyone had any more
experience about multidrop
