Dear Javed

no response from any one after so many hours! apparently you asked the  
wrong group. seven years back, it would have been the right group  
though. but now a days this group is only interested in linux T-Shirts  
and voting for bangladesh and so on.

Having said that, here is the solution to your problem.

on the box that is connected to the outside world, use the mailertable  
feature. there should be a mailertable.mc file where the sendmail.cf  
is, which you need to edit (or create if it doesn't exist). the format  
of the file is like below

.yourdomain.com       esmtp:[1.2.3.4]
yourdomain.com        esmtp:[1.2.3.4]

if you are using a DNS name, you don't need the braces, but if you are  
using IP, you need the braces. This will tell the sendmail that any  
mail destined to the domain of the first column should be delivered to  
the box having the IP (which is your internal machine's IP). do not  
enter your proper domain name in the local-host-names file -- since  
this box will not act as your local mailer.

on the box that is holding the actual mail boxes, do the regular  
configuration. in the sendmail.cf file, find the line starting with  
DS, and right after DS, put the name of the original box. this is like
DSmyRelayBox.local

or if my memory serves me right, it would be
DS[1.2.3.4]

where 1.2.3.4 is your internal interface IP address (you can put the  
external as well, but why force the data packets one more hop and add  
a little bit more load on the firewall?). whatever.

After making all the changes, relbuild and reload the configurations  
and restart sendmail. That should take care of it.

All I have shown here is how to do the relaying job, other  
configuration like telling the main box to accept mail or configuring  
the mail scanner with virus and spam are beyond the scope at the  
moment. But if you need help, google around a bit -- there are LOADS  
of information flying around.

Hope this helps.

happy linuxing
