Hi.

I'am having an issue with my sendmail configuration and I can't
seem to get it to work as I would like.
My sendmail machine has mulitple IP addresses / hostname.

The issue is that I would like to configure sendmail to return the
proper name in the 220 message based on the IP address(hostname) that
the client MTA is attached to.

But sendmail always uses the hostname of the machine itself!

I need the following:

"telnet domain1.com 25"

should return: "220 domain1.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8"

while "telnet domain2.com 25"

should return "220 domain2.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8"

***

Also the message should sent throught the concert IP. e.g. domain1.com 192.168.0.1 , domain2.com 192.168.0.2

If i try to change host with: define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',
`mail.maindomain.com')dnl

it will always return the same greeting string regadless to the actual
host (listen ip) contacted!

any help please.

This is not possible as all other domains are virtual domains. The only way to get around this by installing multiple sendmail servers.

Is it possible to have two sendmail instants ?

Yes, it is possible if you've two public IP address. See Running a second sendmail instance

Another easy option is to run each sendmail using virtualization software such as xen or jails under FreeBSD.
