Kevin et al:

Thanks for the prompt response.  I hope you don't mind me asking another
question.  My Linux server has 2 user accounts:  account_one and
account_two.  Is there anything I can add to my sendmail.cw or sendmail.cf
that accepts any other name such as anything@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and forward it
to account_one?  Currently, any mail that isn't addressed as
account_one@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or account_two@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is bounced back to
the sender.

Thanks.

Lester
