Realistically, send-pr is the way that we handle this stuff, so if you want
to make a contribution, you should put some thought into making it work.

Is there a possibility of using a smart host to forward the mail? This is
usually easily accomplished by adding the smart host to the DS line in
sendmail.cf, and then restarting sendmail.
You might also consider asking for help from someone on the list who can
submit the PR for you.
There are probably other solutions as well.
Or, you could do nothing. Your choice.
Hope this helps,
Doug
