Sendmail configuration

How do I configure sendmail to support more than one domain name?

Re: Sendmail configuration

As long as there is an mx record for the other domain on the dns server, you should be ok.

Is this box the mail server for both domains?

...jcd...
If I had only read the instructions first??

Re: Sendmail configuration

If you are describing the situation where you have multiple domain names with a mx record all pointing to one DNS name, then you should add the DNS names to /etc/mail/sendmail.cw to inform sendmail that it should take responsibility for that mail.

Note: Check MX record by `nslookup -q=mx hostname`

The "mail exchanger" should be the name of your server.
