Now that I've moved over to 2.2.6, my scripts that use 'mail' or 'sendmail' to 
send outgoing mail no longer work.

They keep trying to deliver the mail to a local user when the MX record for that 
domain points to a different machine.

Here's an example:

  www.foo.com  is a virtual host on one of our web servers.
  foo.com has an mx record that points to mail.via.net

  on the web server (www.foo.com and foo.com have IP addresses aliased to this machine)
  if I try to use mail to send a message to x@foo.com, it attempts to deliver locally
  and dies by saying that 'x' is an unknown user.

Help!

Joe
