Sendmail problem

peterchu — Tue, 21 Sep 2004 06:41:26 GMT

I just setup the sendmail server , we have several domains ( eg. aaa.com , bbb.com , ccc.com ) and setup the virtual host , but now when I send the mail to a user ( eg. userA ) , then userA@aaa.com , userA@bbb.com, userA@ccc.com will also receive the mail , could suggest what is the reason ? thx

How did you set up the sendmail?? Are you using smart relay(Ds macro. Sending emails to lotus/exchange server which in turn does the email forwarding)???

Also have you defined the alias file??
Check /etc/mail/aliases file.

Execute the following.

expand_alias usera

What does it resolve to?? If you are using exchange/lotus as smart relay, how is usera defined on those servers?? Connect to server
telnet exchange/lotus_server 25
Once connected, do
expn usera

What does it resolve to??

Hello Peterchu,

Does all these domain names aaa.com bbb.com ccc.com points to the single Server?
Or
Do You have seperate servers having different domain names?

If you have seperate servers for all the domains,then from which server are you sending the mails?
