Hi All

Configuring Sendmail:

1. I have two domains on the same server namely xyz.com and abc.com now the issue is when I send mail to dinesh@xyz.com it should only go to xyz.com and not to dinesh@abc.com since I have configured two users with for the same domain name.

Please let me know how to do this in sendmail or to be clear how to configure it .

Thanks & Regards
Dinesh

Setup two user accounts:

1) dinesh-xyz
2) dinesh-abc

Make sure you have the virtusertable feature setup
(Look for or enter the following into sendmail.mc):

FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash /etc/yourmailpath/virtusertable')dnl

Create or edit your /etc/yourmailpath/virtusertable file:

Setup the following entries:

dinesh@xyz.com dinesh-xyz
dinesh@abc.com dinesh-abc

Build the db file Sendmail uses for this feature:
makemap hash /etc/yourmailpath/virtusertable.db < /etc/yourmailpath/virtusertable

Reload Sendmail.

Hi Bret

Great!!! I understood that. But what if I want to have the username as 'dinesh' only because as you know

1. We have two domains and the users are sending mails to webmaster@domainname.com so there can be only one webmaster right? so how to set this one user and make that mail redirect to that respective domain name abc.com and xyz.com.

Thanks Bret

Currently with 2 or more domains, webmaster@eitherdomain.com goes to one user's mailbox. This is probably what you want anyway. Just look at the header to see which domain name they used. You can setup a filter rule to put them in different folders if you want.

You can use this method for 'dinesh' as well if you want only one username. How will you seperate mail accounts unless you have two user accounts?

I know some POP3 mail servers allow you to use user@domainname.com as a username when you download mail. I don't know how they do this except maybe they offer SMTP and POP3 rolled into one suite of integrated software.

Hi

I found that it is procmail in sendmail does this job. The exact file name is .procmailrc is the file that separates two domains with the same user.

Please let me know if anyone has anymore suggestions.

Hi, i have some problem like dineshbabub, I have had all things mentioned here, but only my problem is, how to answer with second domain??

I have three accounts: sales@domain1.com, sales@domain2.com (its new) and personalaccount@domain1.com.

In both accounts (sales@domain1.com and domain2.com) I can receive e-mail to redirected personalaccount@domain1.com,, but when I have to answer emails with sales@domain2.com, there appear with sales@domain1.com.

I need to answer with same account (sales@domain2.com).

Thanks
Dan

My virtuseratable have some things like:
sales@domain2.com personalaccount@domain1.com

In sendmail.mc has:
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl

In named.conf added domain2.com in two views (external and internal)

zone "domain2.com" IN {
type master;
file "internal-db.domain2.com";
};
view external
zone "domain2.com" IN {
type master;
file "external-db.domain2.com";
};

in local-host-names added new domain: domain2.com

Any ideas???

Thanks
