Re: [lug-nuts] Sendmail virtual email domain?

Basically, don't use linuxconf to set that up :-), it's a piece of cake,
and i'll outline the steps below...

1. Add the domain to sendmail.cw and restart sendmail. This will let
   sendmail know to accept mail for the domain. If this is not added,
   sendmail will continue to reject all mail for the domain.

2. cd into /etc/mail, and there should be a file called virtusertable.
   Open it up in your favorite editor and here is where you place the
   virtual email addresses. If you want all mail for a domain to go to a
   single person, then you need to add this:

@domain.com user@domain.com

   Then, you can add more email addresses as necessary. (I'll include my
   virtusertable below as a reference. After you are done, save the
   virtusertable file and still being in the /etc/mail directory, run
   'make virtusertable.db'

That's it! It should be easy as pie :-)

(Here is my virtusertable)
