I don't think this is a difficult task, but I get a bit crazy when I have to 
deal with sendmail.

I'm working at a company with a very long history of two cultures.  The 
corporate IT department is Microsoft-based and uses DNS.  The engineering side 
is Linux and Solaris based, and uses NIS.  Until recently, the powers that were 
allowed the Linux side direct access to the ISP.  Then they decided to end 
that, and all internet access has to go through the IT department.

For normal email, this is not a problem.  But we have many systems on which 
daemons, many owned by root, want to send email.  In the cases where the email 
is send to u...@foo.com, this is not a problem, I set DS to corpmail.foo.com 
and everyone is happy.

But for particular situations, mail needs to be sent to a particular user on a 
particular Unix system.  None of these systems are in the corporate DNS, and 
that will not change.  They all are in the NIS hosts DB.  Is there a way, using 
either sendmail or postfix, to say that email of the form user@system should 
NOT be sent to corpmail.foo.com, but directly to "system"?  I'd prefer to 
continue using sendmail, unless there is a compelling reason to go to postfix.
