Using Sendmail for multiple domain names
Hi,

We're an internet company with several domain names. Our mail server was originally set up to deal with xxx@domain1.com email addresses which works fine.

The problem I have is that we're now also using a domain2.com, and sales@domain1.com isn't the same as sales@domain2.com.

I've added domain2.com to the /etc/mail/local-host-names file, and tried adding:

sales@domain1.com: user1
sales@domain2.com: user2

into the aliases file ... but that didn't work. All I can do is get all the mail sent to user1 Smilie

How do I go about directing email by the domain name?

Any help most appreciated,
Ash

First check that your DNS is set up for the MX record for the other domain.

# nslookup
Server: mydns.mydomain.com
Address: 10.140.1.2

> set type=mx
> newdomain.com
Server: mydns.mydomain.com
Address: 10.140.1.2

domain1.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx.mydomain.com
....

Sendmail.org has some info on setting up virtual hosts/domains - if you have the Sendmail book, it will help.

sendmail.org RELAYING
Sendmail.org - Queue mail for other domain
Sendmail.org virtual hosting
