You can define multiple mailers in sendmail, and set the local mailer to use one of
them. I set up a LMTP delivery agent on the main mail server (Sendmail 11.3) as..
Mlmtp, P=[IPC], F=sDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=TCP $h 2003
..then set up the "mailertable" as..
testmachine.my.fqdn lmtp:[testmachine.my.fqdn]
..and set up an alias(or virtuser) for a user to be delivered to the
testmachine.my.fqdn machine..
myname: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have sendmail configured to use mailertables, then it will deliver to machine
called testmachine.my.fqdn using the mailer "lmtp". The [brackets] tells it to not
bother to get the MX record for that domain name and just deliver it. This method
makes the delivery occur on the other machine (IMAP server), but look like it was
delivered locally (no addition of SMTP headers).
I can not see why you could not trick your sendmail, and use some name that routes it
differently even to the local machine (instead of my method on delivery to another).
I like your approach using the 'class' and rule rewrite - can you post them for us?
Kind regards, Stuart.
