[lug] sendmail question: LUSR_RELAY problems

[Harris, James]

Thanks for the reply.  I apologize, though, I'm still unclear.  (I've had a
one month trial by fire crash course in administering sendmail, so I'm
apparently missing a piece of knowledge.)

How is it identifying that it needs to relay?
Thanks!

mail2 identifies that it needs to relay, THUS it ignores LUSER_RELAY.

On mail2, a different approach might be to remove *.foo.org (except possibly
mail2.foo.org) from class {w}, and use mailertable to send stuff along to
relay.foo.org.
