Sorry, I'm afraid that this is a much too FAQ.

We're running a ethernet network of eight NeXTs (via Netinfo) and several PCs  
on the same subdomain. The NeXT server acts as file server, name server and  
mail server.

Our users all have network-wide accounts.

On the PC side there is a 'Charon' mail gateway.

On our DNS there's an MX entry for the Novell server pointing to our NeXT  
server.

How could I configure sendmail so that 
a) all NeXT user are able to read their mail from any NeXT in the network (mail  
should be stored on the server, right ?). Mail adress for all users should be  
'user@vogon.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de' (our NeXT server)
b) all Mail to 'user@harmless.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de' should be redirected to  
the Charon gateway, 'gargleblaster.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de'.

Many thanks in advance!
