- The behavior that you want is exactly how the R macro is documented
- in the sendmail.cf file. By default, if you have that macro defined,
- only outgoing mail that cannot be locally resolved is sent to the
- relay host. If you're seeing something different, check out the lines
- in ruleset 0 after the comment "Resolve addresses that are in our
- local domain". They should be uncommented.
