 From sendmail.cf:

# who gets all local email traffic ($R has precedence for unqualified names)
DHhurricane.home.lan

This causes any mail that comes into this box to be passed on to
hurricane.home.lan for local delivery.  I do this on my home network
so that I only have one central mailserver.  The gateway machines
(as well as all the other UNIX/Linux machines) forward any incoming
mail on to hurricane.

HTH.

Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script.
