- (This is not specific to AIX. It should be in comp.unix.questions, or
- a sendmail group if there is one.)

- You need to specify rewrite rules that cause the mailer not to try to
- forward mail for those machines. How you do this depends entirely on
- how your sendmail is currently configured.
-
- One way you can cheat is to do something like:
-
- # Assume we have something like:
- #
- # DDgnu.ai.mit.edu
- #
- # and we want to catch all mail for this domain.
-
- R$*@$-.$D $:$1@$w
-
- This `cheats' by rewriting recipients like `foo@bar.gnu.ai.mit.edu' to
- be `foo@mailmachine.gnu.ai.mit.edu'.
-
- But sendmail configurations vary so much that I cannot even tell you
- approximately where you would want to put that.
