[KLUG Members] Question about sendmail catchall virtusertable.

[Adam Bultman]

Yeah, I was.  I was tailing -f the maillog, and here's what would happen:
You'd make a connection, and address, send the mail.  The maillog would
say, that user <user> had received mail. You'd go to /var/spool/mail, and
the modification time wouldn't change.  None of the modification times
would change. The message (verified by the maillog) would simply
disappear.  Didn't end up in root's mailbox, didn't get returned. Simply
disappeared.  When I removed the catchall, new mail was delivered, old
mail was not.
