Sendmail mailertable troubles

[Mike Kercher]

Here's an example of one of the domains I scan and forward for:

in /etc/mail/mailertable:

farfalle.com            esmtp:postal.farfalle.com

in /etc/mail/relay-domains:

farfalle.com

That's it!  I hash the mailertable and restart MailScanner.  When you stop
mailscanner, are all of your sendmail process in fact stopping?

Mike
