I can belive that but ideally I would like to use smail but if sendmail will do
what i want then i will use that.

I am not, i have 3 linux server on as a mail server, web server, DNS Server and
it is this machine that is used to dialup the internet and upload/download
internet email. So it needs to be able to tell the difference between an
internal bound email and an internet bound email.

All well and good but what does it do why you try to send email destined for
another user on the same server or to a different server.

I works for me when i am connected but my email address is kept the same i.e.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] not [EMAIL PROTECTED] as it should be, this prevents
someone replying to that email as the return address is not valid. So i just
get a reply saying that the internet isp's mail server cannot deliver the
email.
