First of all, I would like to apologize, if the question did not
belong to the list. However, I did get few requests for summary.

Here is an answer from Robert Andersson that summarizes it:
|Quite easy to do with IDA sendmail. Basically you define a mailer in your
|.m4 file, and add entries to the mailertable using it. Belows is a copy
|of our setup. gar.no is our real domain, sx.gar.no is the pseudo-domain
|that gets routed into the serverx mailer.
|
|gars.m4:
|define(FORCE_NAMED)
|define(ALWAYSADDDOMAIN)
|define(POSTMASTERBOUNCE)
|define(PSEUDODOMAINS, BITNET UUCP)
|define(TRUSTEDUSERS, serverx news)
|define(MAILERTABLE, LIBDIR/mailertable)
|define(ALIASES, /etc/aliases)
|define(UUCPNAME, gars)
|define(MAILNAME, gar.no)
|define(PSEUDONYMS, gar.no)
|define(BANGIMPLIESUUCP)
|define(BANGONLYUUCP)
|
|include(Sendmail.mc)
|
|Mserverx, P=/local/bin/ginetr.sh, F=CDFMPhmnu, S=10, R=10, A=ginetr.sh ginet $u
|
|
|mailertable:
|serverx,gars.gar.no sx.gar.no

I would like to thank all of you that answered.
