I am trying to do the same type of thing, except that I'm up on
AIX/6000 3.2.2 now.  Also, I want to relay any mail that cannot be
resolved (via a login account, .forward file or entry in the aliases
file) to another machine.

I had it working on an earlier machine and thought I had it working on
our AIX machine, but now find there are still a few problems.  If you
get it working, please post or email how you did it.

Also, I have been trying to use sendmail -bt to test but don't quite
know what I am doing.  I have read the Nemeth "Unix System
Administration Handbook" on this subject, but still don't quite
understand it.  Exactly what rulesets do you have to call to check if
the address is getting converted correctly.  Is this always the same on
all machines, and if not, how do you figure it out.  I think there is
some basic information here that I missed.

Any help would be appreciated.
