Case :
I rent a hosting to host all mail to companyname.com.
There are 2 locations that will download the emails to local mail
server @ each location (using fetchmail) (because @ my location, we
don't have dedicated connections and internet is still expensive here).
Sending out email is using smtp relay to ISP's mail server.

To save bandwidth, I want to sort the outgoing mail so that email for
local users will be deliver directly, while user with the same domain
that is not local will go out thru smtp.

For example.
Office 1 : john@companyname.com, jane@companyname.com
Office 2 : smith@companyname.com

when john email to jane@companyname.com, I want it to be delivered
directly to jane local mail box.
If john email smith, then it will goes out thru internet.

I've trying to set the virtuser but it doesn't seem to work. If I use
mailertable, I don't think I can specify each user, but the whole
domain (cmiww). I tried to use procmail, but it seems that it only
filter the incoming mail.

I'm quite new with sendmail, and 0 knowledge on procmail. I've been
searcing the net for a few days, but I haven't found what I want.

Please spare me some tips. I'll really appreciate them.

TIA

regards,
Indramin

You may want to think about ldap routing. It's a little bit of a
learning curve, but you can try following the directions here:

1. Do *not* put companyname.com in /etc/mail/local-host-names or
equivalent.

2. Use FEATURE(`virtusertable') and VIRTUSER_DOMAIN(`companyname.com')
in your .mc file (see cf/README).

3. Put entries in virtusertable for the local users only, like so:

john@companyname.com john
jane@companyname.com jane

That should be it if the MX records are correctly set up for
companyname.com and the server can see them - if not:

4. Add a mailertable entry:

companyname.com esmtp:[isp.server.name]

per@hedeland.org

Alton and Per,

Thanks for the tips.

I'll check them out.
