I think the rule should be something like: mydomain.com smtp:[192.168.1.254] Be sure to upgrade sendmail, because the recent overflow can reach internal hosts. While I am at it, a plug for postfix: it is a drop in replacement, and the transport map is documented very well for this behavior. Bind and sendmail. Ugh. -Vince
