[ILUG] null client configuration for sendmail

[Walter Faleiro]

So here the basic think which I am looking is that all mail should go to the
user at default domain, irrespective of the linux host the mail is sent
from.

if its sent to user walter from fedora.example.com, rhel.marfic.com etc
all should delivered t to walter at example.com and not walter at fedora.example.com
, walter at rhel.example.com.

Regards,
--Walter
