You have a custom script on port 79 (?) that takes what is in front of the @
symbol that then spawns off another script to start the queue processing for
the relevant domains. So take 'customerdomain' and basically pass it to
sendmail with the -q flag.

Oh yeah, and I suspect it would be customerdomain@ispserver rather than the
way you have it.
