Sendmail "virtual" E-mail addresses setup 2

[kukamojo]

I am relatively new at Linux, and I have set up a web server which hosts multiple virtual domains. This box was setup to replace one that crashed. My mail server resides on a seperate freeBSD box. I have attempted (through linuxconf) to set up virtual e-mail domains. I also added a user account to one domain. When I send the mail, the server does not return it to me, but it also doesn't appear anywhere on the Linux box. Some info on the best way to setup such a system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. [sig][/sig]

did you check the server's mail queue? perhaps in /var/spool/mqueue

here's what you need for a virtual email alias:
1. add the domain to the list of accepted domains in /etc/sendmail.cw (probably)
2. set up the virtual user in /etc/mail/virtusertable (probably) like this:
email_user_name@yourdomain.com regular_email_user
or to a different address:
email_user_name@yourdomain.com your_other_email@mydomain.com

the first sends the email to a real email/linux alias, and the second just fowards it on to the other address.

lemme know if this helps,
