OT: Sendmail Mail Routing

[Youn Gonzales]

I use entries that look like this:

foundation.sdsu.edu     smtp:[130.191.66.164]

This effectively "force routes" the mail to 130.191.66.164. In either case,
the setup of the file is:

<domain>                        <mailer>:[mailhost]

<domain> can be preceeded by a "." as a wildcard mask and the square
brackets around mailhost bypass MX checking and send the mail directly to
mailhost. <mailer> is the configuration name of the mailer (in sendmail.cf)
used to send the mail.

Sorry for the semi-off-topic question.  If anyone could point me towards
a really good sendmail mailing list I'd appreciate it.

Anyways my MailScanner box acts as a relay for several systems.  In the
mailertable file I have entry's that look something like this.

foundation.sdsu.edu     relay:[130.191.66.164]

Should I be using relay though or esmtp or something else?  The
mailscanner box routes mail for an Exchange 2000 box and a iPlanet Mail
Server.

Thanks,
