I'm not going to contradict you in any way Res, far from it. For local
addresses, that is very plausible (AFAICS:-).

What Derek has though (if memory serves me) is a need to relay to/from
his M-Sexchange servers (AD, hence LDAP)... I might be remembering
this wrong, but it is something like that.
So the term "local" is very relative:-).

I'm sure someone will know the exact syntax for this, but I think he
needs a generic "don't accept domain foo" and specific "do accept
user at foo"... I don't remember the syntax for that though:-). Sendmail
guru's around should know though:-):-).
