Sendmail.cf question: Ignoring smart relay for local mail

[Joel Hammer]

Well, fuddgettabout it.

I mucked around in the sendmail sources and fooled with m4,
groan, and did find the DR definition. So, it works.

Here is what seems to work for me:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsmtp.comcast.net.

# who I send unqualified names to (null means deliver locally)
DRhammer11

This sendmail.cf sits in a box called jhammer6, the
firewall. hammer11 is the box that handles my local mail.

YMMV.

Who says sendmail can't be fun?

Joel
