I admit up front that I am taking the quick route here - asking before doing a detailed RTFM. I've just been thrown a job to do and the system MUST BE RUNNING on Monday - you know how it goes! :( I'm running a few sendmail mail servers, so I'm reasonably familiar with the basics of sendmail. But, now I need to configure a mail server with sendmail to host mail for multiple domains. The part that bothers me is what happens when I want to create an account for patrick@dom2.com when there is already a patrick@dom2.com. These must be _separate_ accounts. But, using email accounts based on users in /etc/passwd will obviously not handle this correctly. I recall mention of virtual user tables in connection with sendmail. Is that the solution to my problem, or what. Just a clue and a pointer would be much appreciated. Regards, Patrick.
