With sendmail (the default FC3 mail server), you add your list of domains, one per line, to /etc/mail/local-host-names and then add entries for each account at each domain to /etc/mail/virtusertable, specifying which local account that user's mail should be delivered to, e.g. joe@xxxxxxxxxxx joe1 joe@xxxxxxxxx joe2 postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx root @example.com jim Then run "make -C /etc/mail" The first entry delivers mail for joe@xxxxxxxxxxx to local account joe1 The second entry delivers mail for joe@xxxxxxxxx to local account joe2 The third entry delivers mail for postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx to local account root (or whoever root has been aliased to in /etc/aliases) The last entry is a catch-all mailbox that delivers mail for anyone in the example.com domain not otherwise specified to local account jim Quite easy really.
