First, go buy the sendmail book from O'Reilly. Really and for true, it's an
amazingly useful manual and much easier to read than the online books.

domain != hostname. In DNS, the MX records for those domains should *also*
point to your selected mailserver.

Think about where you want the mail to wind up, and look into the use of
"virtusertable" and "aliases". If their mail is going to remain on that
machine, yeah you gotta add them there. But if you want them to *read* their
email elsewhere, you need to relay the mail along to that POP/IMAP server.
