Thanks a lot for the answer. I am applying it right now (crossed fingers :-) )
Also, I considered the following: There are two instances of sendmail running, the
first one listening, receiving the mail and placing it on a directory, and the other
picking the mail from the "checked" directory and forwarding it to the final recipient.
I _guess_ that I should load this two instances with different sendmail.cf files,
where the SECOND one reads the modded mailertable file as you suggested.
Am I right? Well, I'll try it ;-)

Francisco

You could try this - setup your relay as 200.37.247.3. Give your mail server
another ip address - usually an internal ip address - using sendmail on the
mail relay - add the fqdn or ip address of the e-mail server in the
mailertables file in this format -
ombudsman.gob.pe esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]
.ombudsman.gob.pe esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]
build your mailer tables db using makemap command and add appropriate
entries in access file and build your access db. On the mail server - add
the fqdn or ip address of the relay in the SMART_HOST directive in sendmail.
For filtering messages use Trend Interscan virus wall with e-manager for
filtering spam !!
