Hi all.

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.
