Mail Forwarding with sendmail
Hello everybody,
I am usning sendmail as my mail server.
my mailing is working fine but my problem is that i want to forward my mails to lotus domino mail server in such a way that one copy of my mails will resides on my sendmail server and one on lotus domino mail server (as backup).
i am having user database on both the mail server and both servers can work live without any dely and what i have to change is just only Nating on my firewall.
My basic requirement is how to configure sendmail for forwarding mails with duplication.

Thanks jlevie,
Thanks for the comments.
Actually i am already having these kind of methods. I had tried once for the testing for some users. And it giving a good load on my mail server.
On my mail server around 50,000 mail goes in 'n' out daily.
So if i will go for this approach it will made my mailing slow. I am looking for some internal settings of the sendmail itself.

As far as I know there isn't any "internal setting" that can do this. And the speed difference is probably due to the increased I/O that the mail relay has to do to store a local copy, so whether it was internal to Sendmail or via alias expansion you'd probably see the same increase in server load.

thanks again,
ok now i will think that i will go for this solution or not.
ya, one more thing, Can i implement quota through sendmail itself, right now i am using file system quota (quotacheck, quotaon etc. )

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
some-user: some-user,some-user@notes.
Of course you'd need aliases for each user and would disable any other forwarding methods. And, not so obviously, you need to configure Notes to accept mail addressed to some-user@notes.mydom.tld in addition to the default address of some-user@mydom.tld.
