Hi

For sendmail, you can host virtualdomains using the virtusertable files:
edit /etc/mail/virtusertable, then for each additional domain, add lines
like the following

rob at domain2.com		domain2_rob
nick at domain2.com		domain2_nick
@domain2.com	formi

this will catch incoming mails on the left (eg. rob at domain2.com) and forward
them on the the names you give on the right (eg domain2_rob) which are
either system accounts or aliases in /etc/aliases
Line no. 3 is optional, and just catches everything_else at domain2.com
The names on the right can be anything, I just like to add the domain to the
username so I know which email address it's for

don't forget to
makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
after editing the file

Any email addresses you don't specify in the virtusertable file are assumed
to point to normal system accounts or aliases

Hope I have my facts straight, its been a while ;)
Dave
