Lance,
I'm by no means a sendmail expert but thought I'd take a quick look at my
config for you.

In my access file I have:

localhost.localdomain           RELAY
localhost                       RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY

Then in my mailertable I have:

.domain1.com   smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
.domain2.com   smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
.domain3.com   smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
.domain4.com   smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Then in my relay-domains I have:
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
domain4.com

I also have in my virtuser-domain:
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
domain4.com

although I don't know if this is absolutly necessary...

This works fine for me as I'm only using the MailScanner box to filter for
domains hosted on our exchange server.


Hope this helps...
