- No problem:
-
- 1. First, become an expert in sendmail. :-)
- 2. Second, rewrite all sendmail.cf files for all systems through
- which said mail passes. Give them the intelligence to read a flat
- file to know where to forward a given user's mail.
-
- It's all there. All you have to do is tweak it.
-
- I suppose one loose alternative (you'll have to test it, of course)
- is to add aliases on all systems, pointing out the proper hosts for
- the given mail in question.
-
- I prefer the former method, as it makes life much easier for those
- users on multiple hosts who only want to read one mailbox.
