Sounds like he wants to set up virtual hosting in sendmail not multiple
servers. This can be done by adding the domain name to
/etc/mail/local-host-names and adding entries to /etc/mail/virtusertable.

There is documentation on the sendmail web site dealling with this (try the
following in google - "sendmail virtual hosting").

I'd recommend something other than sendmail though - exim would be my choice
but I'm sure others would disagree. In exim add the domain to local_domains
and then you may want different directors for each domain (or the default
will do if there are no two local parts that are the same across multiple
domains).

Cheers,
jr
