Editing the mail configuration files
1 Log into the Admin Console and select Services Configuration > Servers.

files are maintained for each burb.
3 Select the configuration file you want to modify in the appropriate burb
configuration file list. You may edit the following files for a burb:
Important: If you modify any of these files, click the Save icon in the toolbar to
rebuild the sendmail configuration and database files.
• Access Table—This file defines anti-relaying and anti-spamming
policies for the SMTP server.
• Aliases File—(Available only in the internal burb.) This file defines the
mail aliases that are used to redirect e-mail to another person or
location.
• Alternate Host Names File—This file identifies alternate host names by
which the Sidewinder G2 is known. E-mail addressed to any of the
alternate names is treated as local mail by the Sidewinder G2.
• Domain Table—This file provides a mapping from an old domain name
to a new domain name. For example, you might modify this file if your
organization’s external domain name changes.
• M4 Config File—This file defines the initial sendmail configuration.
Modify this file as needed to account for your site-specific requirements.
• Mailer Table—This file maps a domain to a mail relay that is responsible
for mail delivery in that domain.
Important: Only edit mail configuration files if it is necessary for your site’s email
functionality.
There are separate files for each sendmail daemon running on the
Sidewinder G2.
4 Save your changes, and close the file.
5 Open the appropriate mailertable file and edit as necessary.
Important: Only edit mailertable files if it is necessary for your site’s e-mail
functionality.

The mailertable files are named /etc/mail/mailertable.mta# (# = the appropriate
burb number).

.foo.com smtp:foohub
foo.com smtp:foohub
corp.foo.com smtp:foohub
