- Try using (in your m4 file):
-
- define(ISOLATED_DOMAINS, ampr.ab.ca)
-
- This will tell your sendmail that anything in ampr.ab.ca is to be sent
- by the TCP mailer (unless there is a mailertable entry), and not sent
- to the relay.
-
- Before you do so, take a look in ruleset 0 of Sendmail.mc. If there is
- no reference to ISOLATED_DOMAINS there, then you will need a more recent
- copy. You can get a copy at mp.cs.niu.edu:/pub/cf
