I'm hosting a web site, e.g. for www.domain.com.  "domain.com"'s DNS has 
been setup with A records for domain.com and www.domain.com that are the 
same IP address.  The MX record for domain.com points to mail.domain.com, 
which is another machine.

If I try to send mail from the web server to the user sales@domain.com, 
sendmail tries to deliver the message to the local user sales.  It looks 
like it's seeing that domain.com is a local address, so it doesn't bother 
looking for the MX record for domain.com.  Is there any way around this 
without changing the DNS setup (which is out of my control)?

Jim
