difference between your "send-only" thing and Sendmail listening
only to localhost (which it does on OpenBSD by default)?

I'd like to have mail not being delivered locally, even if generated locally. Everything should go to host xy.

Mail is normally delivered to the recipient specified by the "TO:". A normal OBSD box will deliver according to that email address as well as the aliases you set in /etc/mail/aliases. Any mail to a local user will deliver to that user, . . if you don't send mail to local users, you won't receive any on the box.

If you set the root alias to [EMAIL PROTECTED], there should be NO email TO any user on the box (since you don't have it defined as a MTA for any domain, right?).

Your question really doesn't make sense, .. or, perhaps the simplest solution is to disable sendmail?
