Configuring SENDMAIL

by gmichaels . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

I am hosting multiple virtual domains on RH Linux 6.2 with DNS and Apache all running on the 1 box. I would like to accept email for the virtual domains under several aliases (info,webmaster,help, etc.)@somevirtdomain.com and point that email to a linux user account. Then be able to connect from an MS Outlook client and pop the mail from the linux user accounts. So If Virt Domains are tektrekcs.com, soluprobe.com,soluprobe.net, I would like to accept mail for info@tektrekcs.com or webmaster@soluprobe.com and point it to the tektrek or soluprob linux accounts. Then connect from MS Outlook to mail.soluprobe.net as linux user tektrek and pop the mail. Each virt domain has its own DNS zone db file with MX records pointing to mail.soluprobe.net. mail.soluprobe.net has an A record in the soluprobe.net zone db file. SENDMAIL is not really configured beyond the original installation. Right now I get a “user unknown”. What should I be configuring in SENDMAIL to make this work? Am I on the right track with the DNS config?
