How do i set up sendmail (8.7) so that incoming smtp mail to a linux box will automatically be routed on to other smtp mail servers. &nbsp;Using the following rules<br />
<br />
Incoming mail &nbsp;XXX@domain1.com is to be routed on to another smtp mail server (local to the network) based on &nbsp;XXXX <br />
<br />
ie &nbsp;Fred@domain1.com &nbsp; -&gt; fred@mailserver1.domain1.c<wbr />om<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Bob@domain1.com -&gt; Bob@mailserver2.demon1.com<wbr /><br />
<br />
Any other mail eg XXXX@anyolddomain.com is forwarded to a smarthost run by our internet provider.<br />
<br />
Can this be achieved without a local dns server to look up the mailserver1 and mailserver2 ip addresses. &nbsp;Can sendmail be told to route to a ip address<br />
<br />
eg &nbsp;fred@domain1.com &nbsp;-&gt; Fred@192.168.1.1<br />
<br />
where 192.168.1.1 is a local mail server<br />

How do i set up sendmail (8.7) so that incoming smtp mail to a linux box will automatically be routed on to other smtp mail servers.  Using the following rules

Incoming mail  XXX@domain1.com is to be routed on to another smtp mail server (local to the network) based on  XXXX 

ie  Fred@domain1.com   -> fred@mailserver1.domain1.com
    Bob@domain1.com -> Bob@mailserver2.demon1.com

Any other mail eg XXXX@anyolddomain.com is forwarded to a smarthost run by our internet provider.

Can this be achieved without a local dns server to look up the mailserver1 and mailserver2 ip addresses.  Can sendmail be told to route to a ip address

eg  fred@domain1.com  -> Fred@192.168.1.1

where 192.168.1.1 is a local mail server

Using Sendmail as a mail router

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
