Hi, This is a Sendmail problem but I hope someone here can help me. I'm running Sendmail 8.9.3 on FreeBSD 3.2 My FBSD box accepts mail for the virtual domain hardwickclothes.com and sends that E-mail to the local user hardmail. This works just fine. Now I want to set up E-mail for another virtual domain, gimbelconstruction.com. This domain needs three E-mail addresses: sales@gimbelconstruction.com, dan@gimbelconstruction.com, and webmaster@gimbelconstruction.com The sales and dan E-mail need to go to dgimbel@jellico.com. The webmaster E-mail needs to go to gimbel@icx.net My /etc/mail/virtusertable now looks like this: @hardwickclothes.com hardmail sales@gimbelconstruction.com dgimbel@jellico.com dan@gimbelconstruction.com dgimbel@jellico.com webmaster@gimbelconstruction.com gimbel@icx.net @gimbelconstruction.com dgimbel@jellico.com Those are tabs between the fields. In the last one it sure doesnt look like a tab, but I deleted it and redid it three times, so I dunno... I typed a tab... I added the domain gimbelconstruction.com to /etc/mail/sendmail.cw and to /etc/mail/relay-domains and to /etc/sendmail.cG I didn't do anything with /etc/aliases, but don't think I need to. I also haven't done anything with /etc/genericstable yet. Not sure what to do there. That file currently has one entry in it: hardmail @hardwickclothes.com hardmail is, of course, the local user that the hardwickclothes.com E-mail all goes to. Since none of the gimbelconstruction.com E-mail is going to a local user, I'm not sure what to do here. Finally I killed and restarted Sendmail and tried sending mail to: sales@gimbelconstruction.com. I get the standard error message: "The Message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected E-mail address was sales@gimbelconstruction.com ...... Server response 'No Such User Here' ". What have I done wrong (or failed to do?)? Must I create local users then alias the E-mail to the remote addresses (dgimbel@jellico.com and gimbel@icx.net)?
