Email server question..badly needed....

tomtacks · 11-22-2001, 05:53 AM

I have one email server here. let's say xyz.com
all is running perfectly ok..

and here's my friend, he registered the domain abc.com

now, how can i configure my email server box running redhat 6.2 to accomodate the two domains receiving both xyz.com and abc.com?

is it in the sendmail or in the DNS thingie?
i really need your advises and tips..thanks...

Actually... its both.

First you need to configure your machine to host that domain name (DNS), or to get mail forwarded to your machine by the machine that hosts the domain.

Then you need to configure your mailserver to accept mail for that domain... how you do this depends on which mailserver you are running.

right-o - does he need to have a zone for abc.com on his dns server, or can they just point to his mail server in the MX record on theirs?

i mean, can i add a master zone file for abc.com in my existing server xyz.com? then point the MX record of abc.com to xyz.com server?
