Thanks for all the reply's.

The answer turned out to be quite simple.  There is a file in /etc/mail
called "relay-domains".  By default, Sendmail adds each new domain that
you set up to this file.  There is some way that you can disable its
use, but I think it is more than just a change in a config file.  So the
simplest way for me was to just comment out (or delete) the domain names
from this relay-domains file.

The current version of Sendmail is said to have this "feature" turned
off by default.

Comments still welcome.

Thanks again,

Jerry Brillowski
