Does anyone have a sendmail.cf file which will always post ALL mail (local
as well as non-local) on a specified remote system?  We would like to have
everyone's mail drop be on one system and use POP to access it over the
network.  I have been successful in producing a sendmail.cf which will post
all non-local mail on a remote system, however local mail still gets delivered
locally to /usr/spool/mail.  I would like to get ALL mail posted to the
SMTP port on a specific remote system.  Then I wouldn't have to change the
distribution version of "mail", just change sendmail.cf.  I haven't had
the time to really learn enough about sendmail.cf files in order to do this,
so I' just wondering if someone else has already done it.

(Of course, I'll still have to remote mount /usr/spool/mail from the central
system, but as soon as I get around to fixing "mail" to use POP to retrieve
mail, that will go away too.)

(I don't read news often enough to make sure I don't miss a reply, so please
send your replies directly to me if possible.)
