By external mail domains, I mean getting mail for domains that we've registered for clients, etc. I've seen a couple of implementations, neither of which have worked on our mail server (running BSDI 2.0.1), and neither of which offer the functionality that I think would be ideal. I'd like: 1. to edit sendmail.cf once to add a rule that uses an external database for any other domains, 2. to have that file contain assignments to do: user@domain -> anotheruser@host (could be local) @domain -> domain-owner@host (could also be local) and that's it. I've seen one implementation that does this (http://www.infocom.net/infocom/VirtualWeb-Mini-HOWTO.html) but you have to edit the sendmail.cf for every domain you'd like to add, and another that lets you do everything except I think it will not allow you to forward mail to remote users (http://www.westnet.com/providers/maildomains.doc). I'm no sendmail wizard, but if I can find a place with some good info, I'll read that O'Reilly sendmail book we have kicking around..
