configuring sendmail through mail relay

Hi all,

I'm trying to use mailsetup to configure sendmail with no luck on an
OSF/1 V3.0 machine. I'm trying to configure what I believe should be
the easiest of all configs, everything goes through a local mail
relay. I tried the quick config which only asks for the relay host but
no luck. then I tried the custom config where I specified the relay
machine and that all non-local-machine mail should go directly to the
relay and be stamped with the relay host address. what I'm seeing for
both local and remote mail is that the local machine immediately
connects to a server that is not the relay I specified and it is also
not massaging the address. the only reason I can figure on why the
alpha selects the relay it does is that it's our incoming relay
advertised via DNS MX. I don't want any DNS or any smarts, just dump
everything to the local relay. has anyone had a similar problem or
know how to turn off the DNS MX or whatever's causing my problem?

thanks,
danny (dmitzel_at_everest.hitc.com)
