Re: How do i send mail to certain domain users over external smtp using sendmail?

Bill!! you are my superman! lol i dont even know how to thank you.

I've been running sendmail since it became more civilized in the
early 1990s after running smail for awhile.

all i had to do is recompile the sendmail!!!!!! it is truly
flexible and ununinstallable. :) mailertable did the thing.
i would like to consider the problem to be solved. if no
objections pending?

You really didn't have to recompile sendmail. Running make
in /etc/mail would have compiled a new mailertable.db with
nothing else required by you.

next time i will pay more time to the sendmail documentation
prior to writing out the problems.

Reading documentation always help. Learning to read documentation
is the road to expertise.

And in another post you asked about having some user who is
considered local use another SMTP agent. Use virtusertable,
also in /etc/mail

If you don't want 'joe' a local user, to get mail locally
put this in virtusertable

joe joe@<some.other.smtp>

And then re-run make.

I also use virtusertable to throwaway things for users that dont
exist.

I just use the @my.domain.name nouser

And in /etc/aliases I have 'nouser' aliased to /dev/null

Hi,

To clarify for myself, are you asking:

given domains abc.com, foo.com, bar.com , and anotherdomain.com

how to use your local SMTP to send mail to abc.com and foo.com but use
an external SMTP to send mail to bar.com and anotherdomain.com?

If so, then you can use the SMART_HOST define and the confCW_FILE define
in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and put hosts you want processed via
local
SMTP in the file defined in confCW_FILE define. If you just have one domain
you want handled locally then you might also just put an entry like
Cwfoo.com in /etc/mailsendmail.cf. Your file names may vary depending
upon you configuration.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Duane Whitty

It's really pretty easy. Look at 'mailertable'. You can set mail
to any domain you wish to go through any SMTP server you are
permitted to use. Some places won't accept my mail as even though
I"m on a STATIC IP and have been the same one for 3 years, they
consider all DSL lines as spam sources. So depending on end
destination I send some to my providers transport, and others off
to another machine I manage.

Setup is simple.

abc.com smtp:

And then just run make in /etc/mail to compile it.

Sendmail is very flexible.
