Networking Multiple Domain names on 1 machine

[tryingtolearn]

So I have a server running 7 different registered .coms using the PCBSD.

But every mailbox I have has @PCBSD.localhost for the email address. This is assigned automatically when I create the user and there is no way of telling it that the user is actually Tom@1mydomain1.com rather than Tom@2mydomain2.com during this setup process.

How can I have SIMPLE to and from email addressing working?

As I have it now I can receive email from Yahoo to any box at any address I want by using virtual mapping to say that when an email for Tom@1mydomain1.com comes in that it needs to go to Tom@PCBSD.localhost.

Then when I go to Tom@PCBSD.localhost's mailbox I will see the email FROM Yahoo.

BUT, when I try to send mail OUT to Yahoo. It is a little difficult as ALL of my email boxes have @PCBSD.localhost for a FROM email address.

What is the proper syntax for editting the genericstable to accomodate multiple domains email accounts?

And what other files need to be editted so that this system can actually handle outgoing email.

Also is there a better way to setup email accounts where they are defined with the address of the virtual domain or registered domain of my choice?

I am using sendmail only at this point and would like to see it work before adding anything else.

Thank you.

I'd reccomend you check the mailing list(s) for your particular server software. They would be most applicable to the problem I think.

PC-BSD is currently aimed at the desktop, as are most of it's users.

I also cannot comprehend 8+ reinstalls, 12 topics and 40+ posts on the matter in a Desktop OSes forum about server software.

Excuse me if I'm being rude with the above comment, but really if you called an Microsoft and told them you wanted to know how to configure a D-Link router to use a AT&T DSL line and setup a Linux Distros networking to use the router they'd probally tell you to go to ask every one else rather then find several good people with exp. trying to help you and direct you to where you can best get information and help as you have been by several of the members of this forum.
