You have to do several things...first you need an MX record
in your dns...for example:
IN MX 25 citinet.gr
then (assuming that you also have a dns entry for citinet.gr)
your mail host will respond as the mail exchanger for that domain
next, you need to tell sendmail to accept mail for that domain...
i believe newer sendmails have that as a feature...
one of the virtual tables, its not virtusertable...but something like
that, i cant remember off the top of my head...
there might be a file /etc/sendmail.cw i think,
it is a list of aliases for your sendmail host...i would add
citinet.gr there and see if that works...
Good luck,
feel free to email me if you have any questions,
I can tell you exactly how to do it, i'll just have to grab the sendmail
book and look it up...
