Ok here is what I do with the second domain  on a raq2 and raq3
first I create a some dns records for it
2nddomain.com IN A IPaddress of main site
www.2doamin.com IN A IPadress of main site
2domain.com  IN MX 10 same as main sites mail records

Now that sends webtraffic and mail to the server
then edit  the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
add
ServerAlias  www.2doamin.com 2doamin.com
to the
<VirtualHost  part on the mail site
restart httpd

edit the /etc/sendmail.cw
add
2doamin.com
allows mail to be accepted

edit the virtusertable add
@2doamin.com mailbox of mail site
or I guess you could add

@2doamin.com    %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
this would problem be a better way if they have more than one mailbox

then
makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable

then restart sendmail

make sure you back up those conf files first
