Mail delivery?

we have another mail server behind it which does mail hosting and the
facility to relay, and uses the same DNS servers.
 
we want all mail from one domain to be sent to this second mail server.
 
this server then has the facility to do aliasing, as below.
 
abc at test.com  abc at xyz.priv
 
all entries we make in the alias fields get processed before the relaying
is carried out.
 
 
many thanks

the os resolves from the host file ok,  e.g. ping.
but, the application sendmail still resolves via DNS.
 
 
many thanks


well there is a way to turn off DNS in Sendmail but as you stated, it
will break your other domains.

you might have to make a record in DNS just to relay mail, minus the MX
records.  but why *wont* you want to use DNS?
