how many times can you spot the letter e in:
q: sendmail alias for nonlocal email account i admin a server which is running a number of web applications for a software dev team (source control, bug tracking, etc).  the server has sendmail running solely as a transport to the departmental email server over which i have no control.  
we have someone who is still in the department but no longer on the dev team so i need to configure the transport agent to redirect all outgoing email (which would be coming from these applications) to the person that has taken their place.  i added an entry in /etc/aliases like such:
olduser@nonlocallhost.com: newuser@nonlocalhost.com

but when i run 
/etc/init.d/sendmail newaliases

i get the following error:
/etc/mail/aliases: line 32: olduser@nonlocalhost.com... cannot alias non-local names

so clearly im doing something i shouldnt.  is there a way to get aliases to work with non-local names or alternatively is their a way to accomplish my goal of redirecting outgoing mail for this user to another one?
technical specs if the matter:


*

*ubuntu 6.06

*sendmail 8.13 (ubuntu provided package)


a: aliases are username only. if you need to specify the domain name as well then youll need virtusertable instead.
