ok so Mailertable sounds like the way to go, so this is what I have

FEATURE(`mailertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable')dnl
in sendmail.mc

then in my /etc/mail/mailertable file I put

.mydomain.com.au        smtp:[machinetoforwardto]

then do a "make"  (which creates a mailertable.db file) 

and nothing happens.... mail is still delivered normally

did I miss something ?

That functionality is pretty much identical to the suggested mailertable
function in sendmail.

But you don't get the satisfaction from beating the beast!  (Actually
the sendmail config file wouldn't be much bigger than that[1])

Greeno (who spent too long learning sendmail to start using easy MTA's
now)

[1] Yes I am talking about the sendmail.mc.... sendmail.cf should be
(pretty much) treated as a binary file :-)
