We have a number of sendmails on "subsidiary" machines: not all can run YP.

I'd like to set things up so that "mail nosuchuser" is routed to a central
machine for it to sort out. This will stop me having to fiddle with alias
files on several machines.

The alias files can't be identical, because some of them end up as groups
administered from various of the machines.

Can sendmail be persuaded to send unknown, but seemingly local, mail to
a remote machine?
