Hi ! Does sendmail still need a sendmail.cw file, if I'm using the virtuser table ? Let's say, I have a mail gateway machine mail.my.dom. And this machine should be the pop server for user1@virtdom1.main user2@virtdom2.main user3@virtdom3.main Do I have to tell sendmail in the /etc/sendmail.cw file, that he accepts mail for virtdom1.main virtdom2.main virtdom3.main And then the virtuser feature allows me to redirect the users like user1@virtdom1.main user1@mail.my.dom user2@virtdom1.main user2@mail.my.dom or user3@virtdom1.main user3@mail2.my.dom Would you choose a separate machine as mailin/mailout ? With virtuser and generics table ? And then one or several machines for the pop accounts ? If users should get a ftp account and some webspace as well, would you then configure them on one machine, which acts as a mail/pop / ftp / www server ? Or would you put 3500 pop user onto one machine and ftp/apache onto another machine ? The point is, I'm not sure if I can safely use NIS to distribute the user accounts between several machines. And creating/managing the passwd file on several machines looks odd ... What experiences do you have using NIS in an ISP environment ?
