Ok lets take that scenario. People on shell.mydomain.com have some kind of
MUA (eg. Netscape) and shell.mydomain.com employs sendmail from here.

-- Wait. You may distinguish in the MUA between a POP3 (receive) host
(which should be shell.mydomain.com) and a SMTP (sending) host -
mailhost.otherdomain.com. But obviously, thats not what you want.

-- Ok. That means effectively that mailhost.otherdomain.com receives SMTPD
Mail from shell.mydomain.com and rewrites the address. Otherwise, QMAIL
will transparently forward the Mail.

(1) You have to convince shell.mydomain.com to use mailhost as the first
SMTP hop.
(2) mailhost has to catch the Mail and to interpret it to be local. Check
the relayclient section in SPAMCONTROL readme.
(3) Check the QMAIL add-on "newaliases" or even better "fastforward" and
install it.
(4) Put the users/hosts/domains in a file like you do it for sendmail's
alias mechanism and employ fastforward as described.
(5). Include the following lines into the file
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default:
|/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -p /var/qmail/etc/rewritten.cdb
|/var/qmail/bin/forward "$LOCAL"@"$HOST"
Here, rewritten.cdb is the fastforwarding database including any address
you may need to be rewritten (see 4). Any other address will stay as-is.
Cheers.
eh.
PS: Sorry. Nothing is easy with QMAIL - but its working well thereafter.
