RE: sendmail virtual domains

[Joakim S. <jo...@as...>]

The secret is in virtusertable, you set up mapping like this:

in...@do... username
in...@do... otheruser
etc.

if you wan't rest of mail for a domain go to one user do:

@domain1.com sameorotheruser

but I don't recomend it as it opens a hole for spammers to do a trick forwarding mail (relaying) through your server.

better do:

@domain1.com error:no user or suitable message

actually the last is recomended only accepting mail for deffined addresses and bounce rest. You can do:

@domain1.com error: no user, try in...@do... instead.

If you want several users get mail sent to one address like in...@do... set up an alias in aliases like:

sharedmail: user1, user2 etc.

and then in virtusertable

in...@do... sharedmail

this will send it to the alias which will split and send it on to users defined.

You might need to have some access mapping setup as well, don't remember so clear as I don't run sendmail anymore but shall see if I
can dig up my old config files...

Hope this helped some,

Joakim
