But does sendmail always query for an MX record?
It seems to me from /var/log/maillog that sendmail
(a) knows that it is running on helen.gayleard.com , and
(b) recognizes that alfred.gayleard.com is on the same LAN.
But it still sends the email to my ISP.
Maybe I shouldn't
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.eircom.net')dnl
?
