for inbound mail use the virtualusertable supported by
sendmail 8.8. "feature virtusertable". look at the readme
in sendmail/cf/README.
database lookups in the virtusertable are recursive.
ruleset 0 invokes the virtusertable code, then calls
ruleset 3 and ruleset 0 on the result...you can
go up to 50 levels deep before sendmail stops the
recursion.
from sendmail/cf/README
virtusertable A domain-specific form of aliasing, allowing multiple
virtual domains to be hosted on one machine. For example,
if the virtuser table contained:
info@foo.com foo-info
info@bar.com bar-info
@baz.org jane@elsewhere.net
then mail addressed to info@foo.com will be sent to the
address foo-info, mail addressed to info@bar.com will be
delivered to bar-info, and mail addressed to anyone at
baz.org will be sent to jane@elsewhere.net. All the host
names on the left hand side (foo.com, bar.com, and baz.org)
must be in $=w. The default map definition is:
hash -o /etc/virtusertable
A new definition can be specified as the second argument of
the FEATURE macro.
