Is there any way to have a domain listed in locals or hosteddomains but have 
the server accept (and relay to a smart host) mail addressed to names at that 
domain which are not users on that server?  This would all be for mail sent 
by local users on the system, not mail coming in from the internet.  I don't 
accept any mail from the internet; I just download all our mail with 
fetchmail from our main mail server.

Everyone in our organization has a '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' address.  But if I make 
'sil.org' a local or a hosted domain then when someone here tries to send a 
message to someone else in the organization who is not a local user, the 
message gets rejected as user unknown.  

So what I have right now is a phony domain name in the locals and then I 
create all the users at this phony domain and then create an alias with the 
same username but at 'sil.org'.  So mail addressed to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' gets 
accepted if that name is an alias to the local user 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

This works, but it means keeping up with two sets of entries for everyone.   
All users are virtual, stored in userdb.  So I have to edit userdb and alias 
table for each user.  I do have a couple perl scripts to automate it so it's 
not really a pain for me, but I'd like to keep this as simple as possible for 
everyone else - userdb for users and aliases for actual aliases.

Any ideas?
