- You must modify ruleset 0 of sendmail.cf so that mail to
- 'user@inrs-telecom.uquebec.ca' is recognized as local. That is, when
- you test with 'sendmail -bt', ruleset 0 should select the local mailer
- for such an address.
-
- A somewhat crude approach might be to insert a rule near the top of
- ruleset 0
