Hi,

This is a Sendmail problem but I hope someone here can help me. I'm running
Sendmail 8.9.3 on FreeBSD 3.2

My FBSD box accepts mail for the virtual domain hardwickclothes.com and
sends that E-mail to the local user hardmail. This works just fine.

Now I want to set up E-mail for another virtual domain,
gimbelconstruction.com. This domain needs three E-mail addresses:
sales@gimbelconstruction.com, dan@gimbelconstruction.com, and
webmaster@gimbelconstruction.com  The sales and dan E-mail need to go to
dgimbel@jellico.com. The webmaster E-mail needs to go to gimbel@icx.net

My  /etc/mail/virtusertable now looks like this:

@hardwickclothes.com    hardmail
sales@gimbelconstruction.com    dgimbel@jellico.com
dan@gimbelconstruction.com      dgimbel@jellico.com
webmaster@gimbelconstruction.com        gimbel@icx.net
@gimbelconstruction.com dgimbel@jellico.com


Those are tabs between the fields. In the last one it sure doesnt look like
a tab, but I deleted it and redid it three times, so I dunno...  I typed a
tab...

I added the domain gimbelconstruction.com to /etc/mail/sendmail.cw and to
/etc/mail/relay-domains and to /etc/sendmail.cG  I didn't do anything with
/etc/aliases, but don't think I need to. I also haven't done anything with
/etc/genericstable yet. Not sure what to do there. That file currently has
one entry in it:

hardmail @hardwickclothes.com

hardmail is, of course, the local user that the hardwickclothes.com E-mail
all goes to. Since none of the gimbelconstruction.com E-mail is going to a
local user, I'm not sure what to do here.

Finally I killed and restarted Sendmail and tried sending mail to:
sales@gimbelconstruction.com.  I get the standard error message: "The
Message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the
server. The rejected E-mail address was sales@gimbelconstruction.com  ......
Server response 'No Such User Here' ".

What have I done wrong (or failed to do?)? Must I create  local users then
alias the E-mail to the remote addresses (dgimbel@jellico.com and
gimbel@icx.net)?

Thanks for your help,
