I'm trying to configure my sendmail to use a different mail host (relay
host) depending
on what the destination address is. The reason for this has to do with
our internal
security setup. I'm on a solaris 9 platform.

So if I have mail to send to xxx@abc.com I would like to use
mailhost1, and if I have
mail for xxx@anythingelse.com I would like to use mailhost2.

Do I have to modify the sendmail.cf manually by creating a private
Ruleset which modifies
the macro setting for what the mailhost is?

thanks for any .

BTDT - you need to build a new sendmail.cf from the m4 sources,
including "mailertable.m4". Then create /etc/mail/mailertable:
domain1.com SMTP:relay1
domain2.com SMTP:relay2
....
and build a hash from that:
makemap hash mailertable.db < mailertable

Don't forget relay-domains, then modify sendmail.cf as needed and
restart sendmail.

Jens,


Thanks for the fast reply. However, never built the .cf file before
from the sources.
Can you provide pointers or direct me to a site where they outline how
one goes
about doing this.


Thanks.
Neil.

${SOURCE}/cf/README and ${SOURCE}/cf/cf/README

No information about solaris here, but with everything in place,
building cf from mc is supposed to be as simple as

m4 < sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
