Steve, Thanks for the info.
1) Yes, a similar line is at the top of the sendmail.cf file. sendmail.mc also already contains the feature line for mailertable. 2) I added the brackets around the ip address. (I believe I previously tried with and without). Also made sure it was a "space" not a "tab" between the domain and the esmtp... 3) I checked and the Makefile does contain mailertable.db. I ran "make" and it put me back at a command prompt without showing anything else on the screen. Assume it ran correctly.?.?.? 4) mydomain.com is a part of relay-domains only. local-host-names is empty. Restarted the processes and it's still routing the mail through the old SMTP gateway instead of directly to the server I have configured. Right now this server is built on 7.3 on a desktop machine (the guy who built it was having trouble getting RH8 downloaded, that's why it's 7.3). We were trying to put this machine in as a pilot this weekend and see how it ran. My tests were done on RH 8.0 and the Sendmail version it comes with, and I want the final server also built with 8.0. Maybe the next step is to rebuild this one as 8.0. That way I'm at least not comparing apples to oranges. I appreciate your input. If you have any other ideas I'm all ears.
