Sendmail help needed

[Alexandre Vieira]

Hello,

Thanks for the help.

The thing is that our main mailserver is not able to work with reports
from only one address. It has a db with some "names" that match
name at ourinternaldomain.tld and then send the reports to the respective
persons/mailing lists.
So the basics of the question is: Is it possible to get every mail
(including local mail) redirected to one domain with MX lookup? I've
been reading about LUSER_RELAY, LOCAL_RELAY, stickyhost, but I don't
know if this will solve the problem.
