How to specify second mail relay in Solaris?

Dears,

I've configured Solaris (10) server to send mails to corporate mailboxes.
Now I need to specify second relay, so if mailx will see that mail xxx@aaa.com it will send to 111.111.111.111 (aaa.com) and if it will see that mail belongs to bbb.com - xxx@bbb.com it will send to another IP (222.222.222.222).

Described in examples for easier understanding what I need Smilie

Can anyone let me know how I can do that?

Thanks in advance.

Are you partitioning whole email host of address or just specific addresses? It is probably all done with sendmail rewrite rules, but that is a deep swamp with a thick Riley book!

Hi, I tried what suggested in this link, but problem still exists.

This is what I have:

Code:
-bash-3.00# cat /etc/mail/relay-domains
mydomain.az
sms.mydomain.az
-bash-3.00#

and

Code:
-bash-3.00# cat /etc/mail/mailertable
mydomain.az      relay:mailboxes.azerfon.az
sms.mydomain.az        relay:mailboxes.sms.narmobile.az
-bash-3.00#

I am not sure that mailx uses this info, since when I changing MTAHost in /etc/mail/submit.cf from mydomain.az to sms.mydomain.az it sends mail using different IP.

Any ideas? Smilie

Technically, mailx -s a MUA that usually uses sendmail as a MTA. Clients could just connect to port 25 and do their own smtp/esmtp -- it's easy. sendmail Tutorial: MUAs, MTAs, and MDAs
