Neil, could you post a sample MX description line which would accomplish
this for non-Internet-connected sites?  The 'named' documentation I have,
frankly, sucks.  I could easily enough figure out what the NIC would
put in to the Internet-wide name server descriptions to set up one or
two systems as relays for my site, but I can't figure out what my local
name server needs to know in order to set up one of the systems as a
relay for non-local mail.

I'd also like to hear from anyone who is using SCO Unix systems on a
LAN, who has had to set up e-mail.  SCO sets things up to use MMDF, which
I have found is the only known software more complex than sendmail.  But
MMDF, as far as I can figure out, is not compatible with sendmail, so
I ended up setting things up to use both.  And I'm rather confused.

Thanks,
