first checkin'


=============================
	main server
=============================

BTW: if you want to have most mail config-scripts in one directory you have to move the files
     '/etc/sendmail.cw' and '/etc/virtusertable' to '/etc/mail/'. 
     then you *must* change the entry 'FW/etc/sendmail.cw/' in your '/etc/sendmail.cf'
     to 'FW/etc/mail/sendmail.cw'. 
     for 'aliases' make a link like: #ln -s /etc/aliases /etc/mail/aliases
     (i did so because of more overview and sure i've been used to do so ;-)
     
     
 - edit 'sendmail.cf' (i explained above) and 
   add to 'sendmail.cw' all domains for which sendmail should recieve mails


============================
	virtuser
============================

 - edit 'virtusertable' and add all mail-users which mail should be recieved for
   e.g.:
   	user@domain		user			# for a real-user
   	info@domain		info	   		# aliases (see aliases section)
   	user@domain		user@other-domain	# forwarding
   	@domain			account@some.domain	# forward all mails to @domain 
   							  which could not delivered by rules before
   							
   	
 
 - build virtusertable.db from virtusertable
   e.g.:
 	#makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable </etc/mail/virtusertable
   	
   	
   	
============================
	aliases
============================

 - edit 'aliases' and add an aliases which you want to map on some user or mail-address or mailing-list
   e.g:
   	info:		admin,user2,user2	# deliver all mails for alias 'info' to admin,user1,user2
   	info:		user@domain.com		# forward all mails for alias 'info' to user@domain.com
   	info-list:	:include:/<path-to-your-file>/info-list		# deliver all mails for alias 'info-list' to every
   									  user recorded in file 'info-list'
  
 - create aliases with: 
 
 	# newaliases
   
   
 - know you see the little trick of using 'included'-file for e.g. mailing-lists
   because you only have to edit the plain-text-formated 'iclided'-file 
   and don't need a '#newalises' if you changed it
   sample for a 'included'-file:
 
 	user1@domain.com
 	user2@domain.com
