How to Set Up a Virtual Host

If you need to assign more than one IP address to a host, see this Web site: http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html. This site provides complete instructions on how to use sendmail to set up a virtual host. However, in the "Sendmail Configuration" section, do not perform step 3b, as shown in the following.

# cd sendmail-VERSION/cf/cf
# ./Build mailserver.cf
# cp mailserver.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Instead, for the Solaris operating environment, perform the following steps.

# cd /usr/lib/mail/cf
# /usr/ccs/bin/make mailserver.cf
# cp mailserver.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

"Building the sendmail.cf Configuration File (Task)" outlines these same three steps as part of the build process.

After you have generated your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file, you can continue with the next steps to create a virtual user table, and so forth.
