We are trying to get vmail on PC TCP to send mail only to our POP3 mail
server on a SCO UNIX box. Vmail will only send it to our mail relay if
we attach it's address behind the name(i.e darren@128.5.0.1).
I have set the mailrelay using the ipconfig commands but it still try's to do
some of the routing. Is there any way of setting a default address to
the mailrelay? The mailer is able to handle all to the routing and
doesn't need any assistance from vmail.

We are trying to get vmail on PC TCP to send mail only to our POP3 mail
server on a SCO UNIX box.... I have set the mailrelay using the ipconfig
commands but it still try's to do some of the routing.
The "mailrelay" is normally set to the fully-qualified domain name of a local
host that runs a full-service, queueing mail forwarder like 4bsd sendmail.
When we're using one, we use an RFC 822 source route, e.g.
@relay.net:user@host.com. Is this what is causing you problems?
If SCO box is 'relay.net' in the above, that source route should be treated
as equivalent to "user@host.com". If their sendmail.cf doesn't understand
source routes, it can be fixed to either parse them (the sendmail.cf we
distribute with our OS/2 product does so) or ignore them.
