Yeah, I thought that as well, and I think I tried that with no
difference, but I'll try it again to make sure.

Yeah, I was wondering if there was another sendmail macro that
represents the domain of the To address that made it conclude it
belonged to this machine. But maybe there isn't.
I want to be careful about dinking with rules. That was what I
originally tried. What I wanted was some users to use dovecot-lda for
delivery and others to use the standard mailer. For example I really
want root to still go to /var/mail as well as other non-real users. So,
I added the dovecot mailer and was dinking with rules sets to have root
to use local mailer and other users resolve to dovecot mailer. I got
quite entangled in the whole thing. I was close but couldn't quite get
there. For now I am content with root ending up in /var/vmail.
Thanks for the help and the suggestions.
Thanks
