Not really solved - but an answer at least. Just posting here for the sake of the archive in case anyone else has this problem/question. My apologies for troubling you all with what must have been a trivial unix question and for using up more bandwidth now. Thanks to Gregory Shapiro (from sendmail list/org) for answer : [snip] >sendmail is not the limited factor here, UNIX is. You must have unique >usernames, therefore one UNIX machine can't have two fred accounts since it >won't know which one to use when 'fred' tries to login. You can create two >accounts on the box (fredreal and fredvirt) and have virtusertable entries for >those: > >fred@virtual.com fredvirt >fred@real.com fredreal >> >>I have set up virtual sendmail domains as per the many postings >>and faqs, using additions to S98 in sendmail.cf and >>a DB file for the mapping. >> >>Now I can have 2 domains on my FreeBSD box : real.com and virtual.com >> >>I have no problems making mail go from : >>info@real.com to user@otherdomain.com (not on the freebsd box) >>info@virtual.com to user@otherdomain.com >>help@real.com to fred (local user on the freebsd box) >>help@real.com to fred >> >>but now i find that fred exists (and can send and collect mail) as >>fred@real.com and fred@virtual.com >> >>but i want these fred's to be different users. ie. fred@real.com >>and fred@virtual.com have different passwords, different mail boxes, >>and belong to different people. >> >>(at the moment i can send mail to fred@real.com >>and fred@virtual.com and it is one and the same user.) >> >>Is this possible to have this on the one FreeBSD box ? >> [/snip]
