Welcome to WmW, bsf.

In order to help, I need some clarification so I understand what you are asking.

Do you want to access email from any mail application?

Do you want to use one sendmail server for multiple domains?

How much control do you have over your DNS?

Ask your ISP how much they will do for your DNS, example: MX records

yes i want to be able to access the mails from any mail application.

yes i have multiple domain on my server and for all of them i want to use sendmail.

the server is fully under my control.

You first must make sure you are using FEATURE('virtusertable')

Then you need to edit the 'virtusertable' file to map the addresses. Each entry on its own line.

For a catchall for 'somedomain' add

@somedomain username

this will put all the mail coming to 'somedomain' into the 'username' mail folder

then use outlook to connect to your server

incoming mail server = somedomain
outgoing server = somedomain
username = username
password = accounts_password

---

you can also map specific addresses, such as

you@somedomain domain-you

or forward them to another address

@somedomain you@anotherdomain
