Subject: Trouble with Hiding Majordomo Aliases in Sendmail
From: John Heffernan <jheffernan @ collaborative . org>
Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 11:24:30 -0400

User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/10.1.4.030702.0

I have been beefing up my security in Majordomo 1.94.5.  I am using sendmail
8.12.9.  The technique of using sendmail virtusertable is working well - too
well.  All messages are being blocked due to unknown user. Here is the
virtusertable, aliases, bounce email, and Sendmail log entries.  When I go
back to no virtusertable, all is well except I can post to the outgoing list
directly (I do have restrict post set to the list file itself so only list
members can post.)
