I'm hosting a web site, e.g. for www.domain.com. "domain.com"'s DNS has been setup with A records for domain.com and www.domain.com that are the same IP address. The MX record for domain.com points to mail.domain.com, which is another machine. If I try to send mail from the web server to the user sales@domain.com, sendmail tries to deliver the message to the local user sales. It looks like it's seeing that domain.com is a local address, so it doesn't bother looking for the MX record for domain.com. Is there any way around this without changing the DNS setup (which is out of my control)?
