What about trying ``O TryNullMXList'' (or ``Ow'' for older sendmails) in the sendmail.cf file on rigel? This should cause rigel to notice that it is the 'best' MX exchange for altair, so it will then send directly to altair, bypassing the MX lookup. (you might need to make rigel's MX = 5, and altair's MX = 10). -- Jonathan
