hiya Jonathan - no bother here! :)
I didn't install anything special - and I didn't have to use virtual
IPs or anything... out mail server has just one IP too...
I just:
1. add virtual email domain in linuxconf - in the "sendmail:basic:
Configure virtual email domain" section... I entered the domain name,
and that's all you *have* to put in here - although there are other
options to play with if you get keen later.
2. add aliases in "sendmail:basic: Setting virtual domain user
aliases" section of linuxconf ... should be pretty self-explanatory.
AND / OR
2. add users to the virtual domain if they're new users - not jsut
aliases of users currently on your system - using the "User
Accounts:Special Accounts: Virtual POP accounts (mail only)" section
- again - pretty much the same as adding users for your main system.
3. exit linuxconf - it'll tell you it's got to rebuild
/etc/sendmail.cf for you... and restart sendmail... and all should
work fine....
with one domain we're being forwarders for they wanted all mail to be
forwarded to the one POP account at another server (their ISP) so I
just set that as the fallback destination in the first step... and if
that's all you want then you don't need to bother with either of the
step 2s.
have a play in there - should work fine and dandy... and no need to
be making hash tables or other weird stuff... which I'm sure I'd do
if I *had* to - but this works well for me - leaving me more time to
do manual configuration changes where linuxconf *cant* be of
assistance...
Hope that makes it a bit clearer... sorry for the slow reply!
cheers dan.
