Sender Priorities

[Jameel Akari]

Another solution I've found for this sort of thing is to setup a seperate 
outbound MTA, without MailScanner or much of anything else running, to 
which you route your messages to those specific addresses.

In sendmail parlance, this is using a mailertable entry.

We longer use any outside services where this matters, but I've retained 
the mailertable routing as a way to control how our outbound mail gets 
distributed.  Also handy for the theoretical MailScanner upgrades I never 
quite get around to doing - being able to route around a given server or 
site while its undergoing upgrades or has some WAN problem or what have 
you is very nice indeed.  Also useful for testing new Mailscanner installs 
by only routing your test traffic through the new machine, etc.
