Sendmail 8.11.0 on SCO OSE 5.0.6 Virtual Domains

[uctken]

After figuring out the whole "internet manager" variation from the original sendmail implentation I've accomplished almost everything needed to handle virtual domain email.

Yes, it's finally working. But not without a question.

It seems that virtual domains will only accept email (using sendmail) for individual accounts created for the virtual domain. SCO internet manager has a form that allows you to select SYSTEM-WIDE or INDIVIDUAL users for the virtual domain.
The SYSTEM-WIDE selection in turn modifies the following file:
/usr/internet/ip/<ipaddress>/sco_mail/config
The entry is SYSTEM_USERS=1
This is supposed to signal the use of /etc/passwd and the standard /usr/spool/mail/xxxx file for mail.

This seems to have no effect. Only users explicitly defined for each virtual domain in the file
/usr/internet/ip/<ipaddress>/sco_mail/passwd can accept
incomming email.

I'm almost there after 2 days of &quot;learning&quot;.
Just about to give up on this one.

Any Ideas, suggestions, hints, or even comedic replys are welcome.

Boy.. the original sendmail for Linux made it look soooo easy.

Thanks,
Ken

Disclaimer: I've never used SCO for this. So I'm guessing after reading

http://pcunix.com/Unixart/vdom_eng.html

If you changed this after the initial setup, you might need to
run &quot;makemap hash domains < domains&quot; in /usr/internet/ip/<ipaddress>/sco_mail/

I'm not really clear if that affects this but what the heck

The problem maybe that it doesn't understand how to undo the changes it made to sendmail. If the above doesn't do it, you may have to go modify sendmail yourself (or start over).
