[CLUE-Tech] Linux / Sendmail issue

[Dave Hahn]

When you say subdomains do you mean somewhere.company.com (in addition to
company.com) or anotherorganization.org?

The sendmail.org website has a virutal doamins document that may have what
you need.

Also, have you looked at qmail?  After years of sendmail'ing I've found it
to be a welcome change.  However, it is much easier to start out with qmail
than to go sendmail, get it running, get users and virtuals established, and
then change.

I'm trying to quietly wean a Microsoft shop over to Linux.

We've been running Red Hat and Sendmail 8.93 on an old pentium box, and
managed to demonstrate its superiority to their system[1].

Both servers in general alias organization addresses and forward the mail to
the users' ultimate email address.

We now want to go from one subdomain on the linux box to 80 or so
subdomains.
The only O'Reilly Sendmail book I have at home is for v8.8, and quite vague.
Anyone have pointers to doc on configuring the box to handle mail for
multiple subdomains.  I'll have to stop by SoftPro and upgrade, I guess.
For
some reason my wife/accountant greets that statement as a threat of some
sort.

[1] partly by training their users to file spamcop reports - the users keep
forgetting to unclick their site on the spam report and end up blocking
themselves - old and devious has its benefits.  Our standard response has
always been - "Our demo server blocked that spam - check your filtering".

AntiVirus Research Center issues an alert for a "widespread and lethal virus
known to cause system crashes and data loss" that turns out to be the
Windows

but
understandable' mistake."
