SUMMARY: Sendmail insists on using non-default interface

I had a problem where in a machine with two interfaces, Sendmail was not
using the one I wanted (alt0.)

It turned out that "netstat -r" revealed that while the subnet route was
going through alt0, the default route was still going through tu0. This
meant that lots of traffic, not just Sendmail, was by default using tu0.

Since I only had tu0 online to ease migration, I deconfigured tu0, and then
deleted and added the static default gateway route in order to make the
routing tables use alt0. Now everything works fine.
