Hi,

you can't use the mailertable for that (as far as I know at least).

What you need is described in  the sendmail.faq
(ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/sendmail-faq)

Take a look at chapter 3.7: How do I manage serveral (virtual) domains

Works great for me.

BTW. If you don't have FTP/WWW Access, you can get the sendmail faq
by mail. Send a mail with empty subject line to:
mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
Put the line: send sendmail-faq-*
in the body of the mail.

regards, Stephan
