Hi guys

I'm tryng to configure a mail server on hpux 11.00 with sendmail. My question is: can i have 2 mail server on the same domain that they work in this way:
ServerA with user test1@domain.com test2@domai.com

ServerB with user test3@domain.com and test4@domain.com.

On sendmail site i have found that i can configure a mail server with user and bkup server for relay.

someone know how is possible??

tnx

Hi,
You have to activate the virtusertable option, in config.m4 or by hand in sendmail.cf,
Then in the text file (virtusertable), just use this syntax :
test1@domain.com test1@serverA.domain.com

test2@domain.com test2@serverA.domain.com

test3@domain.com test2@serverB.domain.com

and so on...
It's not easy because you have to define all the users but it works...

To redirect a whole domain (multi domain relay) you can use %1 :
example
@domain1.com %1@serverA.domain.com
@domain2.com %1@serverB.domain.com

remap your file or start/stop sendmail, and it should be OK !

Hi,

Install Sendmail in two servers.

Server A:

Edit /etc/mail/local-host-names
Put this entries
domain.com
ServerA.domain.com

Edit /etc/mail/virtualusertable

Put this entries and save

test1@domain.com test1@serverA.domain.com
test2@domain.com test2@serverA.domain.com
test3@domain.com test2@serverB.domain.com
......
......

Then Run this command

#makemap dbm /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable

Start Sendmail .

Server B:

Edit /etc/mail/local-host-names
Put this entries
domain.com
ServerB.domain.com

Repeat other steps as Server A

Start Sendmail .

Edit your DNS server's Zone file and add this records.

domain.com. IN MX 10 ServerA.yourdomain.com.
domain.com. IN MX 10 ServerB.otherdomain.com.
