This is a really great list here. Thanks to
Mitko Stoyanov, Hans Ranke, Jan Mark Holzer for replies. From the
proposed solutions I used the one which came in first adding the
alias to the Cw macro and it worked.
Regards
Otto
Proposed Solutions:
1. Add the name for the second domain to the Cw macro in sendmail.cf file.
For much more advanced options consider getting sendmail 8.8.x - it has
support for virtual domains.
2. Look for lines beginning with "Cw" in sendmail.cf. There should be one
for each of your domains (or with several domains as a space-separated list).
Obviously, your new domain is missing. Try to get it added.
(If there is a Cw$N or similar line, then you obviously need space-separated
lists above. If there is a Fw line in sendmail.cf, then you might add
the missing domains to the file named in the Fw line. You see, there are many
ways to write a sendmail.cf file, and I do not know how DEC did it.)
3. Hello Otto,
well I'm using the _MyNicknames macro on my system to
receive mail via multiple system names (in our case
we do have a system called host.rxx.dec.com but
people are sending e-mail via host.mxx.dec.com, etc.
and I just added host.easynet.de
as well and restarted sendmail and I could send mail to
me as jmh_at_host.easynet.de .
>From nasaxp.m4
define(_MyNicknames, {mail.rxx.dec.com host.mxx.dec.com
host.easynet.de })dnl
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Question was:
Temporarily my system belongs to two Internet-Domains. And I want
to receive mails trough the addresses in both domains. How can this
be done?
(As mainly VMS-based) I am not so familiar with D-Unix. What I tried
- Edit hostname.m4
# make -f Makefile.cf.hostname:
# cp hostname.cf sendmail.cf
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
But I am not sure what all to edit in hostname.m4. I did
define(_MyDomain, ({x,y})
and
define(_ParentDomain, ({x,y})
This worked and gave in sendmail.cf
# parent domain
DPth-darmstadt.de,tu-darmstadt.de
# my domain
DNikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de,ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de
(sendmail restart)
But when I sent mail to that node through the second, new domain
(ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de) the mailer-daemon refused
"533 local configuration error, hostname not recognized as local"
(The old address fortunately still works...)
Any idea what I did wrong, forgot or what else do I have to do...?
Regards
Otto
