Is that the solution to my problem, or what. This doesn't make any sense. Are you saying, there already exists a local user named patrick, who does not receive mail as patrick@dom2.com. Instead, some other user, wants to receive mail using the address patrick@dom2.com ? Or, are you saying, patrick@dom2.com needs to go to 2 separate mailboxes? Did you read the sample files in FreeBSD:/etc/mail ? Did the FAQ help you at www.sendmail.org ? Write back if you need more help. -- "Le motd juste."
