FWIW, I have a mail gateway that accepts mail from lots of other machines,
and forwards it when I have a link to the 'net.
The .mc file says:
VERSIONID(`awfulhak.mc version 1.0')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)
FEATURE(nouucp)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
FEATURE(nodns)
FEATURE(nocanonify)
define(`confQUEUE_FACTOR',1)
Cwawfulhak.coverform.lan
Cwraffles.demon.co.uk
define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN',5d)
It's made into a .cf file with:
CFDIR=/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/
m4 -D_CF_DIR_=$CFDIR ${CFDIR}m4/cf.m4 awfulhak.mc >awfulhak.cf
