Hi All..

I have a box (Mandrake 8.0/Sendmail 8.11) set up to handle mail for a 
particular domain. MX records and everything have been set up so that mail 
is correctly delivered to said box. Once it gets to this point, the idea is 
that the box will use entries in /etc/mail/virtusertable to forward mail to 
the final destination, which will be one of two boxes in Sydney and Melbourne.

The virtusertable entries look like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]     sydney.user@[ip.of.sydney.server]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]     melbourne.user@[ip.of.melbourne.server]

Having done all that, the weird thing is my box wants to relay these emails 
off to a different box on the LAN, one which used to (ages ago) be the mail 
relay to the outside world, but no longer does that. The virtusertable just 
seems to be getting ignored, and I can't for the life of me work out where 
it's getting the idea to relay to the old relay box - all references to 
that as such are long gone. (er, that i know of :)

domain.com.au is in /etc/mail/local-host-names and 'dig -x domain.com.au 
MX' returns the correct information.

I have tried upping the LogLevel on sendmail but still no clues as to where 
it's getting the incorrect relay address from, and why it seems to be 
ignoring virtusertable anyway.

Some pointers are needed - where to look next? The answer may be obvious - 
but if not I'll summarise any findings back to the list. :-)


cheers,
..S.
