Re: How to configure 2 Smart hosts in sendmail.

Fairly easy - you need to add MX records for a virtual host pointing to to real mail servers:

smtp1 MX 10 mailserver1
smtp1 MX 20 mailserver2

Note: smtp1 will have NO A records.

In your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf add smtp1:

DSsmtp1



Commands? go to sendmail.org
