mail user aliasing from existing user

Hopefully an easy question for you all:

I would like e-mail sent to a specific user to be actually delivered,
even though that user's id exists on another mail domain on the
server:

(E-Mail Removed) already exists and is happy

(E-Mail Removed) already exists and is happy

....now, if someone sends an e-mail message to jennifer@domain1, then
the jennifer@domain2 actually receives the message (since "jennifer"
is a user name). I am guessing I need to set up some sort of alias
here...

So, in other words, if I set up an alias for (E-Mail Removed) of
"jennifer", how can I tell sendmail to check the domainname first,
instead of the username to determine the final delivery-place?

....if it makes any difference, this is on a Cobalt Qube, running
linux/sendmail.

thanks!

I think this will work. Add a line to /etc/aliases
or /etc/mail/aliases or wherever aliases is located
on the domain1 server that looks like this:

jen: jennifer@domain2

Then run newaliases to recreate aliases.db
You may have to restart sendmail as well.

I believe you can also create a .forward file in the
users home directory on domain1 and put an
address (jennifer@domain2) in it.

Good luck.
