Re: MIT Mailhubs Linux-Athena mail from outside net-18

FYI, I tracked down what's going on...  This is what sendmail.cf says:

DDMIT.EDU
[snip]
R$*                     $#ether$@ATHENA.$D$:$1          All else to ATHENA

Of course, 'athena.mit.edu' mx's to pca and ssa.  We could change this
to outgoing, but then shouldn't _all_ clients point to outgoing?
Better yet, why don't all clients send all non-MIT mail directly,
anyways?
