Since my fascist ISP blocks port 25 traffic (why they do this is
hazy), I have to use his lame relay to send mail.  The easy way to
do this is to use:
        define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.isp.com')dnl
in the appropriate myhost.mc file.

Fine, that works.  But I also have a local RFC1918 LAN, and if
SMART_HOST is all I do, even mail to hosts on the local LAN are
sent to the SMART_HOST; the SMART_HOST, of course, eventually
bounces those mails as undeliverable, since the local domain
is not in global DNS.

All mail is smtp.

So how can I alter my .mc file or hack the .cf file to *not*
forward mail for a discrete list of hosts or a whole domain?

This would seem to be a very common situation.  Any LAN
that needs to use a SMART_HOST to communicate outside itself
has this situation.

Any pointers would be appreciated, I can't find this situation
in the several places I've already looked.  THis seems like
something that a "mailertable" might handle, but I can't
get any traction in understanding those.
