I do not think so. At least I do not believe you own yahoo.com domain, |
| 10 |
it means you can not set up your server1.guru.com as mailserver for |
| 11 |
yahoo.com domain and redirect all yahoo.com mail to your server. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please, understand, that virtsertable concept is a way of hosting |
| 14 |
multiple mail-domains, but you need full control of that domains. |
| 15 |
Or do you really believe that if you have: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
@yahoo.com root@××××××××××××.com |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
it means you can "steal" all mail sent to all yahoo.com accounts? |
| 20 |
No offense, but you do not mean it seriously, do you? :-) |

You can only *redirect* your mail in yahoo.com, but only on your |
| 23 |
own accounts, and only if yahoo.com supports it. Or you can collect |
| 24 |
your mail from yahoo.com through pop3/imap protocols at regular |
| 25 |
intervals (again, only if yahoo.com supports it). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
virtusertable covers local delivering, but *not sending*. |
| 28 |
When your MTA (sendmail) gets a mail message for anything@×××××.com, |
| 29 |
it asks nameserver authorised for yahoo.com for corresponding |
| 30 |
mail-server for deliveries, and *no matter* what you have in |
| 31 |
virtusertable. But as I said, very probably you do not own yahoo.com |
| 32 |
domain, so you can not define your server as mailserver for yahoo.com. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But, this all is possible to do for your own domain, guru.com, |
| 35 |
if you really have full control of it. I think maybe it's the right |
| 36 |
time to read something more about sendmail and bind, or some RFC |
| 37 |
about how email works... |
