i am trying to configure sendmail alias to escape '@' to treat it as a user for example

test\@domain.com:[email protected],[email protected]

I have user user [email protected] in virtusertable as [email protected] test\@gmail.com and in passwd file as [email protected]:x:UID:GID:viasites.com:/home/test:/bin/pop

if i remove @ sign everything works fine.The virtusertable is working fine with escape character '\'.But alias is not.

Is there a way where i can get alias working ?

  • Why would you want to do that in /etc/mail/aliases when virtusertable exists for this reason?

In /etc/mail/aliases you cannot have @ on the left hand side. The left hand side is considered a local name, hence no @ sign is expected there.
