  I've ten Sun 386i machines connected to another Sun 386i that serves
as a file and mail server. This machine, daedalus, is in turn connected
to another machine at Harvard, talcott, that knows how to talk to
the rest of the world. I'd like to be able to use an address such as
user@host.domain from any machine and have the mail routed through
daedalus via the Ethernet and from there to talcott via the UUCP link.
In addition, mail inbound for kovar@icarus should be readdressed as
kovar@daedalus. In other words, kovar@<valid machine name>.gsd.harvard.edu
should be delivered to kovar@daedalus.gsd.harvard.edu without having
talcott do the rewrite. Unfortunately, while I have the inclination, I
do not have the time to figure out how to write the correct sendmail.cf.
Someone must have a similar network configuration and, if so, I'd appreciate
seeing how they configured sendmail to handle it. Oh, we're running SunOS
4.0 and Sun technical support hasn't been at all helpful so far.
