How to send Mail to another server

[Peter Farrow]

To pass off  specific_user at somedomain.co.uk, when the server already 
delivers locally will require a sub domain or alternate hidden domain to 
move the mail onto for that specific user.

For example, if sendmail has somedmain.co.uk in its local-host-names 
then all mail for that domain is considered local.

The only way to redirect a mail for a specific user is to either have a 
separate address for that user which is hosted by the other server and 
referenced either by MX or mailertable, or to deliver directly to the 
fully qualified domain name of the other server as follows:

since the server already handles everything at somedomain.co.uk, if you are 
using a virtusertable you can add a line like this:

specific_user at somedomain.co.uk            
specific_user at otherservername.somedomain.co.uk

if you are not using a virtusertable you can add it to /etc/aliases

specific_user:            specific_user at otherservername.somedomain.co.uk

and run newaliases after the change.

you can check delivery with:

sendmail -bv specific_user

Don't forget to make sure the the other server is configured to accept 
mail delivered to its fully qualified hostname,

Regards

Pete
