^^^^^^
But doesn't this make anything addressed to altair go directly -TO-
altair immediately? If I make it:
orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
rigel.orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
altair.orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
---or rather in shorthand form:
IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
rigel IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
altair IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com.
And make the changes below, I'm back to the DSN error from sendmail saying
Altair loops back to Rigel.

This all seems to work fine in test mode with sendmail... Now if the DNS
MX records just worked!
Thanks!
