I would think that the easiest way to achive this would be to use a separate alias file for each domain, and to allow the owner of that domain to modify the file for thier domain. If the file should be in the users home directory, this can be achieved with a symbolic link. I do not know if you can setup per domain alias files with Sendmail, I would suspect it can be done. I have done it with exim (not including the users modifying the files themselves), and I am sure it can be done with other programs as well. > Cant believe noone else on this list has something like this for their > clients. I know of a large ISP that does something similar to this on FreeBSD. They use a web based system to allow thier users to administor thier own virtual domains. Personally I would find giving the users access to do it themselves, via shell or ftp access, a security concern.
