|Hello, I'm having trouble setting up mail clients using
|SUN's "sendmail.subsidiary.cf" file rather than use UK-sendmail
|to generate a "generic" configuration for each client to use.
|
|The idea is to avoid having to feed a new NRS-derived sendmail.cf
|into each client each day.

If you *must* have more than one `mailbox server' I suggest you run
uk-sendmail setups on each mailbox machine. These setups do not need
to contain the NRS data at all - they can only recognise their own
address, and know that all other stuff should go to the `clever'
machine. It is probably best to keep a list of top-level domains on
each mailbox machine, but that does not change very often.

Andrew
