But at the moment I'm only up for the challenge of getting anyone on the
GLLUG list to answer my question - Does anyone know of a way in sendmail
to route the mail on the basis of a sender's address. So that any sender 
from a particular
domain has their mail directed to a particular email group?
In other words how do I add a rule saying  if the sender is "x" route to 
recipient "y"
even though it is addressed to recipient "z".
Come on chaps I mean all this abstracty stuff about who knows most about 
emails isnt
quite as interesting as the nitty gritty of how to do stuff.

I can't see why that would be too
