Ok, I see the problem. In that case you want the next level up of
hack. You want to define a mailertable as such:
FEATURE(mailertable)dnl
Then create a mailertable file. Put it in /etc/mail and crunch with:
/usr/sbin/makemap hash mailertable.db < mailertable
As an example of the things you can do, here are the last few lines of
my mailertable file:
# spamsters, they have a problem setting up their MX's correctly.
# we will fix things up for them. wouldn't want them to miss their bounces.
t3-com.com esmtp:nancynet.com
# more spammers with intentional MX problems. Never say we
# aren't nice to these folks.
.algonet.se esmtp:algonet.se
# llnl can't get their mx's setup correctly.
.llnl.gov esmtp:llnl.gov
#
.bitnet esmtp:talcott.harvard.edu

.uucp esmtp:uunet.uu.net
