 Hey,
 
 I'm looking for a way to have local and remote deliveries in sendmail being
 scheduled in a different way. I'd like to do this:
 
  . if an incoming email is being sent to a local mail address, then try to
deliver immediately
  . if an incoming email is being sent to a remote mail address, queue the
message till runq is run
 
 I can't find a way to do this. Maybe anyone reading this message does know
 how to get this trick done?
 
 Thanks!

In general terms:

You have to create a local mailer which delivers immediately. Add a
local_net_config rule that uses the rule.  If I remember correctly this is
described in one of the files in /usr/doc/sendmail

Set the regular mailer as expensive. Plus alter the queue processing in
/etc/init.d/sendmail.

Hope you can take it from here. It has been a while since I set this up.
