Hi..
i am trying to configure a RedHat 5.02 with multiple Virtual Hosts.  The
webpages
work great... but i am having one hell of a time setting up emails for each
of the
Virtual Hosts.
Things I have done:

* put the names of each of the domains into the /etc/sendmail.cw file (one
per line)
* put an entry of each of the email address with the corresponding target
(reciepient)
  separated by a TAB into the virtusertable file and also ran
  MAKEMAP hash /etc/mail/virtusertable.db < /etc/mail/virtusertable
* restarted sendmail

i find that SOME of my VirtualHost's email addresses work fine, but two of
them
don't.    i have been looking thru all the config settings that i can think
of.  can someone
give me a clue as to what i SHOULD be looking for and at?

any help is greatly appreciated.
A..

Consider running sendmail in the testing mode that will show you the
rulesets and how it gets worked out by 'sendmail -bt'

Look for references on how to use that properly.

makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable

http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html has a troubleshooting
section with things to check (sendmail -bt mode). Run those tests.
If that doesn't solve the problem, post the output of them.
