How to setting the Virual Domain Mail Server by sendmail?

explorer1979 · 06-04-2002, 11:47 AM

Hi all,

I am now running a RH 7.2 mail server.

It have a registered domain name like this one, www.magazine.com.hk (www is host name) with a IP address

I want to make this mail server for multi domain's mail server like that

tproject.com.hk and cheer.com.hk with the same IP too?

How to make like this in Red Hat 7.2 and sendmail?

Do any example for refernce?

Thanks a lot

Set up your local-host-names file (probably /etc/mail/local-host-names) with one domain per line, as such:

Code:

tproject.com.hk
cheer.com.hk

Unlike making changes to aliases or the virtusertable, you must restart Sendmail to load in the local-host-names file, as such:

Code:

kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`

The DNS entries for your domains must have an MX record for your mail server as well, so if you do your own DNS, edit each domain's zone file with an appropriate MX record, as such:

Code:

@         IN    MX  10        www.magazine.com.hk.  ; assumes www.magazine.com.hk is the mail server

Hope that helps.
