sendmail with virtual hosting

[raghuni]

I think there are many people knows the solution for my problem.
I googled a lot to find solution for this, but i am unable to find right and full information on "exctly how to configure?" the following Scenario.

Suppose i have two domains as

domain1.com
domain2.com

in single server.

i want to have mail account with the same username in both domains like,

xyz@domain1.com
xyz@domain2.com

Most of the docs are saying like, we have to configure virtusertable. But not giving exactly how we should configure. I even checked in sendmail.org, but it creating a bit of confusion.

Can any one help me out in this regard. (I am using redhat ES 3.0 ).

Thank you in advance.

Me too, I also have the same problems like you, and don't know how to do like this.

It is look like very hard to do so, apache is easy to make vhost, but sendmail ... hard la, and don't know how to...

anyone can help us? thx for your time

The fix should just be as simple as configuring your system for 'domain1.com', then adding

domain2.com = domain1.com

into your /etc/mail/domaintable file, and running make in the /etc/mail directory.

You'll want to put both domains in your 'relay-domains' file too (I know I've done this).

1. useradd xyz - create user xyz
2. passwd zyx - create password
3.mcedit /etc/mail/virtusertable - here you enter username zyx@domain.com and then with tab leave blank space and enter zyx- (the inbox foder)
4./etc/mail/make all
5. service sendmail restart
7. thats all

Hi, Roxoff

Thank you for your reply, But it seems the setup you shown, is not working with me.
I am using sendmail version 8.12.11-3
Actually i don't have relay-domains file in /etc/mail folder. So i created it manually and included both domain names in the same file

[root@pbas6 mail]# pwd
/etc/mail

[root@pbas6 mail]# cat domaintable
domain2.com = domain1.com

[root@pbas6 mail]# cat relay-domains
domain2.com
domain1.com

Actually when i am try to send mail to xyz@domain1.com, its working fine. But when i try to send mail to xyz@domain2.com, i am getting following error
[root@pbas6 mail]# mailq
/var/spool/mqueue (1 request)
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-----------

(Deferred: Connection refused by domain2.com.)
<xyzdomain2.com>

Actually i want to maintain, two different mail boxes to both user accounts (xyz@domain1.com and xyz@domain2.com) and domain1.com and domain2.com are hosted in single server and having same IP.

You have set up the DNS for the domains so that the primary MX record for each points right at your server, haven't you? How is it that domain2.com is rejected by someone else's mail server?
