Hi,

You probably need to look into Virtual User tables and multi-domain hosting. The virtusertable feature allows the server to accept mail for say joeblow@4inthemorning.com and then forward it to joeblow@bobsferrytales.com.

Mind you, this works only if joeblow doesn't exist in both domains.

Hey thanks for the reply. My problem is i need mail sent to each account sepertatly i don't want the mail to forward at all. So say if i have staff@4inthemorning.com and staff@bobsferrytales.com they are both 2 seperate email accounts not attached in anyway.

Sern · 08-15-2005, 09:35 AM

i should let you know they are not unix users i created the users with cyrus and sasl

I'll pay someone if they figure this out

EDIT MORE INFO

root@alpha [/etc/mail]# sendmail -bvt sern@bobsferrytales.com
sern@bobsferrytales.com... deliverable: mailer cyrusv2d, user sern@4inthemorning.com

i want it so that mail to sern@bobsferrytales is deliverable to sern@bobsferrytales.com and mail to sern@4inthemorning.com is deliverable to sern@4inthemorning.com

i think i has something to do with this line in sendmail.mc

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$m')dnl

Code:

root@alpha [/etc/mail]# sendmail -bvt -d0.3 < /dev/null
Version 8.13.1
 Compiled with: DNSMAP HESIOD HES_GETMAILHOST LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX

                NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS
                USERDB USE_LDAP_INIT

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
      (short domain name) $w = alpha
  (canonical domain name) $j = $m
         (subdomain name) $m = 4inthemorning.com
              (node name) $k = alpha.4inthemorning.com
========================================================

If you want to use this line define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$m')dnl make it like this

Code:

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', ` alpha.4inthemorning.com')dnl

Then "# sendmail -bvt -d0.3 < /dev/null" should give you

Code:

root@alpha [/etc/mail]# sendmail -bvt -d0.3 < /dev/null
Version 8.13.1
 Compiled with: DNSMAP HESIOD HES_GETMAILHOST LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX
                MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6
                NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS
                USERDB USE_LDAP_INIT

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
      (short domain name) $w = alpha
  (canonical domain name) $j =  alpha.4inthemorning.com
         (subdomain name) $m = 4inthemorning.com
              (node name) $k = alpha
========================================================

Now try adding
4inthemorning.com
bobsferrytales.com

To /etc/mail/local-host-names

Don't forget to make sendmail.cf and restart sendmail

Hey Pete,
Thanks for replying but when i do that it sends to sern@alpha.4inthemorning.com , it sends to what ever domain is speicified in that config line

Code:

  To:      sern@4inthemorning.com
  Subject: test
  Sent:    Mon, 15 Aug 2005 13:05:22 -0400

did not reach the following recipient(s):

sern@alpha.4inthemorning.com on Mon, 15 Aug 2005 13:04:53 -0400
    The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message
was sent to.  Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient
directly to find out the correct address.
    < alpha.4inthemorning.com #5.1.1 SMTP; 550-Mailbox unknown.  Either
there is no mailbox associated with this>

aznluvsmc · 08-15-2005, 02:31 PM

I think there's a local-host-name file that defines all the domains the server will serve. If the main.cf file already specifies 4inthemorning.com then you can add the second domain to the local-hostname file.

The synatx is just to put each domain the server will serve for on it's own line. Then restart sendmail and see if that helps.

I don't quite know why Sendmail is trying to deliver mail as
sern@alpha.4inthemorning.com

You could leave the line "define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', ` alpha.4inthemorning.com')dnl" out of sendmail.mc and see if sendmail can determine it's own name from /etc/hosts, mine does

There is a way to change the senders email address by using a generics-domains table but try the above first

Just for your information my /etc/hosts file reads

Code:

127.0.0.1  server2.mydomain.co.uk  server2   localhost.localdomain

Where
server2 is my machine name
mydomain.co.uk is obviously my domain name
127.0.0.1 and localhost.localdomain are necessary to stop other things complaining

How could i use the generics-domains table??? I've tried everything else already =/

Could you post the solution?

Sern · 12-29-2005, 10:00 AM

I use postfix with saslauthd and cyrus. If you'd like i'll write up a full tutorial for you/

Sern, thanks for the support. Not sure a tutorial is neccessary, however, I know a few people posting (including myself) who would benefit from it.

Please look through this thread and let me know if you see anything obvious.

Thanks, been working through this for days now.
