Based on your description you seem to have things backward. Sendmail is |
| 11 |
used to inject mail into an MTA on the local machine, and the MTA can |
| 12 |
then use SMTP to transfer said mail to another server. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If the final recipient (i.e. mailbox) is on the same server the mail is |
| 15 |
generated on, the MTA can use a local transport mechanism to store mail |
| 16 |
instead of passing it on via SMTP. |

I suggest you clarify your goal, and ask on the Postfix mailing list |
| 19 |
(or Exim, etc.) for more information. |
