After finding the appropriate section in the bat book, I managed to get this working really nice. In .mc, you'd use "define(`MAIL_HUB',`remotehost')dnl", or modify DH in sendmail.cf. I managed to get this working across my whole network in a matter of an hour or so. I'm really glad I found this, this keeps me from having to worry about NFS mounts and machines hanging when the NFS server goes down for a reboot/maintenance/ what have you. I haven't took down sendmail on the mail server yet to see what happens when it's down (e.g. if the gateway box queues mail/etc.), but I'm about to. Anyways, got it working. Thanks for the pointer. -jg -- Jeremy L. Gaddis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
