Yeah I suppose that would help huh? Actually I have a FC2 mail server that I want to use as the mail server for two domains, mail.xxx.org and mail.xxx.net Does that make a little better sense?
Yes, lots! <grin>
It's remarkably easy. Just remember that Sendmail is not the only piece involved when you're troubleshooting.
1. First make sure that forward and reverse DNS works properly for both FQDN's and that they both resolve to your server. They can be on the same or different IP addresses, it does not matter.
2. Make sure that DNS is set up with A records, and ***NOT*** with CNAME records. The MX records necessary to direct mail to your server ***WILL NOT*** work with CNAMEs.
3. Make sure that each domain has an MX record pointing to your server.
4. Add both domain names to /etc/mail/local-host-names (one domain per line).
5. Restart sendmail.
Done! (Hopefully I didn't forget any steps.)
You may also want to look at the virtusertable in order to more easily assign email addresses, aliases, and other neat functionality for both domains. It's just as easy to work with.
You will need to use the virtusertable (as Rodolfo mentions) to have usernames that are different per domain. It is likely that the following is true in your case:
user@xxxxxxxxxxxx is the same as user@xxxxxxxxxxxx
If that is *NOT* true, then you need to use virtusertable functionality to make the proper distinction.
