Hi, There are a couple of "Tricks" to get this working. 1. Setup MX records inside SOA for mydomain.com to point to your mail host. 2. Edit your sendmail.cf file and looke for a line that beings with Cw. You need to list your mail host here as well as ALL the domains that you will be receiving mail for. Each item in the list is separated with a space. If you prefer, use Fw /etc/sendmail.domains and put these hosts in the file /etc/sendmail.domains. 3. Edit sendmail to direct the mail as desired. 4. Test your configuration using "sendmail -bt -oQ/tmp" 5. When everything is okay, restart sendmail by "killing" it, don't use KILL -HUP, it doesn't work! Restart sendmail with "sendmail -bd -q15m". An excellent "virtual mail domain" FAQ can be found at the following site + other neat goodies like virtual domain FTP etc. http://remarkable.amazing.com/internet/virtual-homer.html Have fun!
