Hi there,

I have two servers at a site. One of them is MX for the site; so it gets
*all* the emails.

Here's current setup: 
Once an email arrives the the MX machine, it is delivered locally if a
local user is found. Any email to an *unknown* user is passed on to the
second machine. I achieve this by "DLsecond.machine." directive in
sendmail.cf.

Now here's the problem: 
I recently upgraded to 8.9.1, and the DL directive doesn't seem to work.
When I use pine to compose an email on the MX machine addressed to a user
on the second machine. But when I want to send it, sendmail refuses to
accept it complaining that the user is not known.


Any help is appreciated. Even more so for fast responces :-) 

cheers,
Hossein
