How do you tell sendmail to act as a router, accepting messages
for machine 'x' and sending them to whomever they are addressed to.


e.g.
	I have a machine which doesn't have a namserver and can't 
	therefor send messages via SMTP directly.  So I want it to
	always send to my 'routing' machine, which will then send
	it on.  But at the moment it refuses the message with 
	something like.

	"No such user"

	The router will be an ultrix(4.2a) host.  The sender is a VMS host
	using CMUTEK and MX.

				Any help will be appreciated.
