In DNS, you create an MX record pointing to the server you want to receive mail for this domain. In Sendmail you have to edit the /etc/sendmail.cw file and add the domain name for this server to accept mail from that specific domain. Then reload your services, for BIND try "ndc reload" and for Sendmail try "killall -HUP sendmail". Do the same for each domain you want this server to receive mail. Have Fun...
