I'm trying to do this and am having some trouble.

Ok. I've got the mx records set up:

test.iaces.com  preference = 5, mail exchanger = fievel.test.iaces.com
test.iaces.com  preference = 10, mail exchanger = horton.iaces.com         

I have anti-relaying on on horton (sendmail 8.8.8). And it will not forward 
unless I put test.iaces.com in the sendmail.cw file. But then it delivers 
locally. 

I tried putting in the mailertable per the other email, but
makemap dbm mailertable comes back with:
makemap: Type dbm not supported in this version

So I changed it to hash or btree, and makemap just hangs.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
Paul.
