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. -- "A cookie store is a bad idea.
