HELP: Virtual domain e-mail handler using '.domains'

Post by Paul Tayl » Sat, 07 Sep 1996 04:00:00



Hi There

We have a machine with a few virtual domains handled by 'sendmail'.
All works ok, however we are looking for a 'mail handler' that can
handle mail seperated out based on domain name using the
'domainaliases' function in 'sendmail'.

I have seen this in action on a couple of sites. The administrator for
a domain has a '.domains' file in their home directory which decides
how mail is filtered or redirected. The mail handler they use is a 'c'
program called 'spcl' which could have been developed by themselves
(I'm not sure).

The contents of the '.domains' file looks something similar to the
following :-







foo.com jbeen

The '#' directive tells the mail handler to pass over function to
'MReply' which is used to handle mail lists. Otherwise the mail is
redirected to the account on the right. The last line indicates that
any other mail should be sent through to the specified user.

This is exactly what we would like to do on our small network here,
but after a couple of weeks searching the net and reading all the
available FAQs are no nearer finding a solution.

Any help would be VERY appreciated.

Paul

Check out virtual sendmail at http://www.mtiweb.com/isp. It uses
maildomains and masqdomains files to accomplish the rewriting of
sender andresses and the receiving of emails from multiple domains.

It works great. Our customers get all their outgoing mail rewritten

with unwanted, unsolicited, commercial email. I have taken steps to automate
my, not so polite, retaliation. I am sorry I am forced to do this, but I
am receiving several junk emails a day now.  You have been warned.

1. Virtual Email isn't working for long domain name.

Hi. I'm running Redhat 6.2 with Sendmail version 8.9.3. I've got
several virtual domains setup on this box, all working fine. The
domain I'm trying to setup now has a 28 character name, and it will
not work. I've double checked the config and it looks good. If I try
to send mail from another machine to it, it bounces back with an
error, and if I try to a POP connection, no matter what
username/password I put in, it tells me it's invalid.
Please respond to my email account.

Thanks in advance,
Robb Fesig
