At the location I work, we are trying to combine two Solaris 8 machines with dual network cards into one multihomed machine. The first machine is a DNS server and mailserver. The second machine is a mailserver within a subdomain of the first domain. The Second machine performs bulk outgoing mailings only and has the queues adjusted to such a point that if there is no answer within short period of time it deletes all remaining messages and perpares for another bulk mailing of new messages. Is there a way to adjust the queue setting for both requirements (ie 5 days for the first and 2 minutes for the second) through a single installation of sendmail or is multiple installations of sendmail required? If multiple installations are required, what method can I use to accomplish this? ie port configurations, directory locations, Build parameters, virtual domain configurations, multiple queues configs... Don't ask why they are asking for this to be done, it makes no sense to me, other than to give me a headache ... or at least I feel that way right now! I have spent 4 days going through FAQS, HELP PAGES, INSTALL PAGES, and README FILES. My last alternative is to read the sendmail book from cover to cover. yuck! Getting the primary sendmail to work was a no brainer, however getting the bulk mailing from the second has me stumped. Maybe there is a reason as to why this is so difficult. Has any one else done anything like this? If anyone has ever installed 2 working copies of sendmail on the same machine we would appreciate any assistance and guidance you could provide and you would be my HERO for the week! Seriously though I need some help...
