Title: Internal only
Post by: robey on November 24, 2003, 05:45:28 PM

Hi there,

I have an intresting request,

How would I setup 5 users to RECEIVE internal(local) email only. Yet still be able to SEND email out remotely.

Ive tried wrapping me brain around how to do this using groups n pseudonyms,ect. But its either not possible or my brain doesnt wrap that far.

im leaning toward a virtual domin being the solution, but,

if I setup a virtual domain , maybe called internal, will I be able to add/create users per domain, or will creating john@domain1 automatically create a john@internal ??

just looking for some input

thanks in advance
robey

Now why would you want to do that??

Anyway, you could achieve this with procmail. Sort all mail coming from *@yourdomain to the MAILDIR and the rest to /dev/null, or forward it to admin. For example (untested):

:0
^From:.*@mydomain
$HOME/Maildir/

:0
! admin@mydomain

If you don't point external DNS server to resolve MX record to your server from outside, nobody from Internet will be able to send your e-mail in the first place.
